Worst Things

  1. Difficulty in enrolling in high-demand classes
  2. Disorganization of faculty, staff, and students
  3. Financial aid problems
  4. Hampshire bureaucracy (sometimes the lack of impact student voices have on the decision-making process) and the slowness of some change
  5. Housing lottery
  6. Sometimes, the “Hampshire bubble” closes in on students. They just need to escape for some time or forever.
  7. Lack of diversity
  8. Oblique cliquishness (and sometimes isolation)
  9. Difficulty in expressing opinions if they are not with the majority voice
  10. The campus and weather during January term

We Have Frisbee.

Hampshire is not known for it's athletics. Though we only have one organized sport, frisbee, we have a great outdoor recreation program called OPRA. Through this program students can ice climb, mountain bike, take trips to high ropes courses or even go kayaking in the caribbean.
