I can only guess how you are defining vibe. However, if you are considering intellectual atmosphere, this is what a faculty member with experience at several colleges said about Hamilton:
Why did you choose Hamilton?
As a grad student I taught at a big research institution, Stanford, and there are very smart students there as well, but they weren’t the ideal I had in mind, which was the engaged, enthusiastic liberal arts student who’s in it for the ideas, for the love of knowledge … Following Stanford, I went to Wellesley for a year and then Williams for a year, and I felt like I had returned to my element. When I saw the ad for nearby Hamilton College, I thought maybe this, being a long-term, tenure-track job, this could be it.
