<p>Vassar is starting construction on its new science building soon. It will actually be a bridge across a small stream and house biology and chemistry and environmental sciences. The other science buildings are being updated as well. One unique science offering that Vassar has is a small acoustics laboratory. This is an unusual offering for an LAC. Vassar also has two observatories. I am not familiar with the other science departments. Vassar is definitely cooperative not competitive.</p>
<p>Hamilton has a beautiful science building and a more cooperative atmosphere I hear but I can not confirm it.</p>
<p>I agree to check out Holy Cross - especially for biology.</p>
