Its was apsalutly terrible! Not even aloud to talk to anyone! Everyone there is afraid of covid like the plague😷
Good school if you want to focus on preparing for grad school
This is a great school with a unique educational program. Open campus with working farm, libraries, and museums. It's been struggling with falling enrollment and funding issues, but it is working hard to keep providing a great education.
Great to walk around and a super friendly atmosphere, also has a really nice campus
You know it’s doing something right when the alt right feels the need to review bomb it.
Like all liberal arts colleges with high tuitions, it has its share of snobs, but it also has lower income people with financial aid to be there, including grants and scholarships as opposed to loans.
Great academics. Abundant resources for research and learning. Many well regarded professors, passionate about their subjects and about the non-traditional approach to pedagogy and inquiry. Many of professors have prestigious degrees and publishing records that could probably land them jobs at Ivy Leagues and the like, but they chose Hampshire because of its values.
Beautiful area even if some of the buildings get ripped on for not being up to people’s aesthetic standards (yawn).
Last I knew, the mattresses suck. Bring your own or a mattress pad. Wish there were more late night food options for the night owls.
Almost every 1 star rating is someone angry about the flag deal. Nice school, beautiful campus. The entrepreneurship, cognitive science, AI, and game design departments are to die for, Especially considering the acceptance rate of the school.
Student entitlement comes with the territory of any expensive college. There is a large PC culture on campus though, that leaves many students feeling excluded and persecuted, and apparently gives the school a hilariously bad name amongst adamant patriots.
Really, the college took the flag down so it could educate students about its meaning?? You call yourself an institution of higher learning? Maybe you could educate your students about the country they live in while you are at it. Hint: America!
I'm extremely disappointed in our ability to conform to the wants and desire's of the 1% of the population looking for attention. 99% of the population has their ideals in the correct place, but the 1% that would like attention to come their way, is prioritized. When will the administration realize you will never appease everyone. Plain and simple. Stand up for what is right. "stand for nothing, and you'll fall for anything"
What a good lesson for those(parents) spending 60k per year for "real world preparation." What happens when they don't get the job they want or they make a bad investment? Or worse, what if the wrong toy comes in their Happy Meal? They gonna burn down the Golden Arches?
Burning the flag, then after that refusing to fly the flag indefinitely. That poor old flag that tries to represent freedom and the right of free speech and your freedom of religion. It represents the right of people to demonstrate peacefully and to burn that very same flag if they want to. When a few persons or person burned it, the people in charge refused to explain to the people that burned it what it stood for. Instead of that, they decided not to fly it anymore. Just because a few people wanted to make a statement. What type of flag do the ones who burned the flag fly? We need to wait and see who will walk up to that flag pole and put the American flag back up. That's bravery. And the person who does it would get respect. The person who does it would get the respect of the entire country. Along with any other thinking individual at the College. People who love America love it because of what the flag tries to represent. A flag is like a house. It's easy to burn down a house but it sure is hard to build one.
Great education. Unique opportunity to take advantage of the resources of 5 colleges and get a stellar education.
would recommend to a friend
Forces you to think critically about everything. A Hampshire education is inherently interdisciplinary.
Experimentation and education are both great. Experimenting with your education is too risky. Western Massachusetts is a terrible place to spend four years.
If you have not examined who you are in relation to society and the environment, Hampshire will provide a life changing lesson. If you want to learn this lesson in bootcamp, that is. But you can learn this elsewhere, like at Goddard College or so many other alternative colleges in the US. Hampshire's culture has spiraled out of control. It has become a place full of hate and anger, full of criticism. I've had African American friends threatened there for not being "black enough," called "oreo" and shamed for hanging out with white people. Any kind of cultural sharing or exploration, no matter how well thought out and responsible and ethical it is, is totally shamed. Extreme bullying, anonymous online wars, threats, and anger are not the way to create change. White straight males drop out rather than learn about their privilege because they are made responsible as individuals for the world's sins.
