Student Center Is Used by Everyone, for Everything!
Our brand new Student Center is a great place to study or stock up on Hamilton gear, and it has amazing resources. In the upper levels, there are computer labs, our radio station, and a club room where clubs make posters to advertise campus events. In our sun porch, you often find students doing work, or watching football or The Jersey Shore, along with other events that are all catered by the campus activities board. In our basement, different organizations hire DJ's and decorate for great all-inclusive parties each weekend.

Not a Place to Find a Spouse...Generally...
The dating scene at Hamilton is not really one of committed relationships. You are more likely to find people hooking up with their friends or strangers, and shrugging it off the next morning. Of course there are the exceptions, but casual sex is the opposite of taboo on this campus, and hookups are much more common than dates. There is a good range in types of boys and girls so far as personalities go, but people tend to clump based on their preppy-ness, hippy-ness, grunge-iness, and other such qualities. So, if you are looking for a "type" in particular, you will know where to find a whole clump of that type of person, as each group kind of has their typical friday night haunts.

You Will Get What You Need, but Not Much More
Since everyone at Hamilton would be worthy of acedemic scholarship, they don't offer any to incoming freshmen. However, there are ways to get scholarship money once you are on campus. The alumni association is very generous about giving grants and scholarships to students who make a name for themselves on campus, and grants are easy to get within departments once you start working with professors. As far as financial aid to start your acedemic carreer with, Hamilton will meet 100% of your need, but won't give you a penny more than you prove you need.

Beautiful Fall Day
Beautiful Fall Day
Our campus is amazingly beautiful, and it is a pleasure to take a stroll with friends or between classes. However, autumn starts early here, and winter lasts long, so we have to enjoy the sun and grass while we can.
Wertimer House
Wertimer House
We have a large variety of dorm styles. Wertimer House is a freshman dorm and is a renovated fraternity house. Thirty lucky freshmen get to enjoy a large common room with a fireplace and flat-screen TV, a pool table and game room, a well-equipped kitchen, and two study lounges with couches, TVs, and white boards.

The Hamilton Outing Club runs hundreds of trips each year to the Adirondacks and other local reserves. Here, freshmen bond over their orientation, called Adirondack Adventure, where they spent a week canoeing in Saranac Lake.
