Very Small Town

Red Hook and Tivoli are the the quintessential small town type places. They is not much to do at all. The only thing to do is go to parties off campus but i don't even do that because figuring out the shuttle schedule is too much effort. there are a few good restaurants but they are all ethnic foods. other than that the only reason to get off campus is to go grocery shopping. we really are in the middle of nowhere here. Even the local "towns" still feel isolated from the rest of the world. it gets to you sometimes. also, the townies dont really like bard kids because we are so liberal and they are so not liberal. and we do drugs.

The Food Sucks but What Did You Expect

kline is really bad. it gets old really quickly. if you want to eat well, you have to basically be very creative with your food at kline. down the road, the small cafe on campus, is much better but expensive and lately the lines have been really long. also manor is good but its so far away from the rest of campus that its usually not much of an option during the week.

More people are interested in discussing literature

the athletic department at bard is still building. basically this is not by any means a big sports school. more people are interested in discussing literature than playing catch. the good news is that we are joining the liberty league in 2012 which means that sports will be taken a lot more seriously here. the gym is super old and the weight room is so small. its really only the athletes that use it.
