In Brief
Legacy of having been two colleges of complementary characteristics manifests in enhanced academic, architectural and social dimensions and balance. Academically strong across humanities and fine arts, sciences and mathematics and social sciences. A writers’ college, for those who wish to enhance this skill. Rarefied student profile. Beautiful, spatially luxuriant campus. Surrounding area among the safest locations anywhere, with zero violent crime reported in a recent year. Nicely offset from the Northeast megalopolis, with proximity to authentically rural countryside, a quaint village, suburban amenities, a small city and the Adirondacks. Winter snow suitable for the adventurous — find your inner Buck. Grads earn the most in their early careers from those of the 10 NESCAC LACs based on information in U.S. News. Alumni include preeminent figures in the artistic movement known as imagism (Pound) and the prominent branch of psychology known as behaviorism (Skinner) and an instrumental activitist in the civil rights movement (Moses) — to name a few — as well as Nobel laureates. Historical cultural reference in Wilder’s Our Town. If you like film, you might want to watch The Sterile Cuckoo for a visual introduction to “Harrisonville” College.
The Hamilton side of campus is charming. The Kirkland side of campus is awful.
