Current students - what do you think?

<p>I would love to hear what you thought about your experience. Let me throw some questions out for you - I hear great things about the academic experience - demanding, good relationships with professors, good pre-professional counseling, etc. Can you comment on this and how much time you spent studying. Also, can you comment on HC efforts to diversify. During our experience on campus (students were on break) we felt the campus was trying to diversify - i.e. admissions department appeared diverse; during interview D was pleasantly surprised by interviewer’s liberal views on social issues; our guide spoke with us about being a Muslim at a Catholic school and loved HC; etc. We left with a very favorable impression about the open-mindedness of the school based on these interactions. However, the “books” and the Princeton superlatives suggest the opposite. Would love your comments. Finally, what is the social life like? Is alcohol the center of it? Do kids go into Boston or to Providence at all. Anything else you want to volunteer would be helpful. Thanks a lot!</p>
