Off Campus Food
There's a new Indian restaurant in town and it is delicious. Cost is average and the food is just amazing. Never had indian food before but I go there twice a month. La iguana is the mexican place in town. Food is not that great but the margaritas are worth it. There are also some restaurants in town that are good - Ruschs and Nichols and Beal. If you want something classier the Colgate Inn is fantastic but pricier than the other options.

Off Campus Housing
There are some very nice places off campus. Cost is cheaper than on campus housing. The leasing is a joke. Read it over carefully. Parking is a bit tricky.

Parking
Cannot park up the hill until 3:30 which is annoying because you need to walk to take the cruiser up. Other than that parking is great. Freshmen can have cars on campus. Never got a ticket my three years there.

College Town
Hamilton is definitely a college town. The town town basically caters to your needs. I don't really see many townies around but the relationship between the school and the town is great.

Dorms
Freshmen dorms aren't too shabby except that curtis rooms are tiny. There are some awesome places to live as a sophomore (more singles in suites available). The townhouses are a bit isolated but extremely nice, new, and HUGE. Apartments are okay. Parker is probably the better of the three.

Pretty Big
6 frats and 3 (maybe soon 4) sororities 1 frat and 1 sorority that was kicked off campus are still going on For a small school, greek life does dominate. I think 40ish% of students are involved.
