<p>For applicants who are unclear as to what makes HC unique among colleges. [GO</a> HAVERFORD! - brought to you by FIG](<a href=“http://go.haverford.edu/]GO”>http://go.haverford.edu/) is the student calendar and black board page. I think they recently started putting up candid quotes about the honor code from students… a few are negative-neutral but most are overwhelmingly positive. If you refresh the page, you can read a new quote. Just looking at it briefly, I found this one, which reflects my time at the college as well. </p>
<p>“I appreciate the Honor Code in its entirety, but recently I have begun to especially observe the acts of Confrontation and the living by Community Standards by several members of the college. I completely abide by and respect the Academic portions of the Code, but since we all live, eat, sleep, and shower together; I believe that the social section of the Honor Code deserves praise as well. Recently, there was a party in the basement of Gummere. There were many beverages served and, as at most parties, the floor ended up covered in a thick layer of beer and plastic cups by the end of the night. The next morning I had my window open to let in fresh air and happened to hear the conversation among two members of the staff who were talking about the awful mess that we had left for them. I believe this to be unacceptable, for it is not their job to clean up our ridiculous messes, and told several of my floor mates. We all concluded that we should apologize to the two staff members and offer to help clean the basement. It is the fact that we confront our problems and take community issues into our hands with the hope to resolve them that I love our Honor Code and hope to see if continue to grown and improve.”</p>
