As a current student from an urban area, I share the same experiences in regards to hanging out with friends and enjoying meals. However, just because Hamilton is in a very isolated area, I have not found it difficult to still do all those same activities. My friends and I often go to the local Hanafords, go food shopping, bring it back to our dorm and enjoy both cooking and eating. Its a pretty good time haha. In regards to drinking, alcohol is as much of a presence as you want it to be. Personally I am not a big drinking and I have never felt pressured to drink.

Because we are in the middle of nowhere, Hamilton makes the effort to bring activities to the college. There are various events going on every night such as acoustic coffee events, various a capella concerts, trivia night, movie showings, discussions hosted by professors from other colleges etc. More often than not, you will have to choose between activities (or a tleast thats how I’ve found it to be).

In regards to academics, its difficult, but manageable. What I find great about the work is that there are always peers and professors who are willing to help. I can see my professor during office hours to solidify my understanding or ask some peers for help.

Sincerely, student who should be doing a paper haha.
