partyhippie–when you go up to Hampshire make sure you look at the art studios and ask your tour guide any questions you might have about the program. From all that I have heard it has a very good, very intense, art program. I know that there are some AMAZING artists there.

About the “w/o grades and stuff” academics–really think about what it is you like about that. Don’t think that it is in any way easier at Hampshire because of the absence of grades. In fact, just the opposite is true. Every aspect of what you are like as a student is covered in your evaluations: the quality of your papers, your attendance, your class participation. You will NOT slide under the radar in any way. This is wonderful for true students, for those wanting to go on to graduate school, etc. but horrible for people looking to slack.
It is a great school, I hope you have a good visit.
