[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard Hamilton is very socially divided, is this true?[/quote]

It’s not. The athlete/non-athlete divide is really only a thing on DCUM.[/quote]

I mean I heard it from a student so that's not true. [/quote]

Not for well adjusted kids. I see and hear the opposite from a NESCAC athlete whom I talk to pretty much everyday. I hear and observe the same from their non-athlete roommate and best friend as well.[/quote]

Well adjusted kids? Ok. Judge much? [/quote]

Not at all. Athletes are a minority at any of these schools yet people talk like a non-athlete is completely out of water. People also talk about boys having it harder than girls which is funny given that the gender ratios at top SLACs has a much better balance than at top Publics and the number of female athletes is basically equal to that of males because of Title IX. There is plenty of room foe everyone to find "their people". This is just a continuation of the anti-athlete bias that certain groups carry.[/quote]
