Bard College at Simon's Rock

Lots of Awesome Things

The teachers are great, the staff is nice, the community is accepting and the work is challenging. People here are open and fun. If you let your social life get in the way of your studies, you will have a rough time. If you're totally introverted and don't want to open up, you'll have a very quiet social life here. But all in all, it's great, and it beats the heck out of public high school or community college.

You'll Be Fine If You Don't Want to Partake

Drug usage happens on campus, but that's the case with any college I've ever seen. You won't feel left out or pressured if you don't drink or do drugs.

Diversity

There is very little diversity on our campus. There is about 15 African American students, 25 Asian students, and the rest are white. Most of the people that are white have a bit of an attitude, but the minorities tend to stay within their own kind, so there is never tension amongst groups.
