Among the general public it does because of D1 sports. Among those who matter they are in the same group.

Hamilton is a great school and does seem like it’s for the serious intellectual and not the preppy type. My niece went there so I only got a glance at graduation but it was impressive.

Whatever the case may be, I'm glad some people consider aspects beyond U.S. News rankings.

Hamilton isn’t in Utica.

It’s very close. It basically is. People I know who work there live in Utica. I used to live in the area.

Holy Cross does not belong in the same sentence as these schools. Move on, troll.

Both are old line WASP, White Anglo Saxon Protestant, institutions. Along with erosion of America’s traditional Judaic-Christian values so to has the appeal of Colgate, Hamilton, and other such institutions. The “hot” schools of today reflect our countries demographics, not its history.

But students aren’t hanging out there on a daily basis. It’s not that close.

I remember when my DD applied to Colby. Some of those people thought it was cheese, and become confused.

Agree Hamilton and Colgate have always catered to WASP families. That demographic is in a very steep decline and those 2 schools have limited appeal to a more diverse population.

They walked away from thier social contract in the name of progress and are now paying for it. Hamilton does not pop up on the CCPs approved list of colleges.

Unless they took the Jitney, then they could go to the bodegas.

A "Hamilton booster" to whom you appear to be referring "used to live in the area," and may have no connection to the school.
