4junior - that’s interesting to me, because I graduated in '95, and I don’t think I would have described it as a preppy conservative school back then. I certainly became more conservative in my thinking as I progressed through Hamilton and then Law School, but I thought the political views on campus were fairly balanced. I recall some students in one of my Spanish Lit classes saying that they thought they were being graded unfairly by the professor because of their conservative views. It certainly was nothing like Wesleyan, but if you were a crunchy, vegan, pro womyn political activist, there was a place for you at Hamilton. Was it the best choice school where you would be really happy? I don’t know. One of my roommates first year was pretty liberal, and I do think it was a bit hard on her, but she seemed to find her tribe by sophomore year and lived in the co-op. Other students with more liberal, artistic leanings, lived together at ELS. I hear there is even more special interest housing at Hamilton now. And, of course, back then lots of the guys went around campus with long hair and socks with Birkenstocks, even during winter. It was pretty amusing to see them all cut their hair and don suits for interviews in the spring of senior year.
