Why doesn't Hamilton recieve as much public prestige as others?

<p>Hamilton is an awesome school, and is ranked 16th in the LACs (above Wesleyan, Colby, Bates, Oberlin, etc). However, a lot of the students do experience frustration with the fact that when we tell people we go to Hamilton it usually sparks the response of, “Oh…where is that?” It is definitely annoying, but when it comes down to it, you should go to a college for the quality of education/life.</p>
