I’m not very well-versed in grad schools stats, but I know that at least two seniors this year got into Cornell law school, and the pre-law advisor from the career center is very good. Also, because Hamilton has such a focus on writing, that would help in law school. Grading really varies depending on the department and professor, but my general feeling is that if you work hard and take advantage of the resources (free tutoring, writing center, quantitative literacy center, seeing your professor when you need help), it’s not hard to do very well. I’m not a swimmer, but I have a lot of friends who swim and the pool is nice, it’s in a very cool room with lots of translucent glass on the walls. Dance clubs are very popular, and there are a lot of different ones - latin, ballroom, jazz, hip hop, step. I’m not sure about how great the MUN team is, but the Mock Trial team just placed 4th at nationals.
I study French, and so far I love the department. Languages are very strong here, and I’m impressed with the faculty. Taking a quick look at my catalogue, it looks like there are a good number of Chinese lit courses in the East Asian studies department. Some of them seem sort of comparative literature-esque, in that there’s a focus on film as well. The course catalogue is on Hamilton’s website if you want to check out some course descriptions.
I’m sorry I can’t be more specific, I’m into theatre/comp lit and not so much econ.
