Campus Visit Notes for Hartwick College


Visit Description:

The student guide made the tour enjoyable and interesting. Lots of good insight. Impressed by breadth of academics and extracurriculars for a smaller school not close to a big city. Their J term sounded like a unique and appealing option. The main negative was the isolated location. Need an overnight visit to really see if it a good fit.
