Hampshire and Guilford are both “Colleges that Change Lives”.

Neither school is particularly wealthy, but Guilford has a larger endowment-per-student, and seems to typically offer better financial aid.

One thing that’s sticking in my mind is that the students at Hampshire would me more academically inclined or more intellectual just generally speaking

The conventional metrics aren’t really applicable here. For example, Guilford is test-optional and Hampshire doesn’t accept standardized test scores at all.

Neither school has particularly strong graduation rates, but Hampshire’s do appear to be better:
% graduating in 4 years: 57% Hampshire, 43% Guilford
% graduating in 6 years: 68% Hampshire, 59% Guilford
