so i just posted a comment on a myspace board about my alma mater and i thought to prove just how much i l-o-v-e hamilton i would post it here too- enjoy!
i was sad to see all these comments bashing hamilton, but i totally respect it's not for everyone.
to give you a different opinion- i think the place is amazing!
of course some people are shut off, but that happens everywhere. just look at life, most people won't give you a glance when you walk down the street (hello, we do live in new england!) but that is just life. we live in little circles. i loved my circle at hamilton.
hamilton is where i made the most amazing life long friends. they are people that i know i can count on for whatever, whenever and they will be there. ok, so yeah, that sounds cheezy, but it is oh so true. and i am not talking two people. there are quite a few hamiltonians spread around the world who will always have a couch for me to crash on.
plus the campus is amazing! you can't beat the glen covered in snow or beinecke lit up at night.
so clinton doesn't have a lot of places to go out at night, but the convos i have had on the adk porch at lunch or whispered in the library at 2am are some of the most life changing i think i will ever have. actually, now that i have been out for almost four years (ack, is it really that long?) i find myself missing that unique hamilton college experience of having my closest pals always within walking distance for a chat or a cuppa.
what i will remember most from college aren't the late nights drinking or the walks of shame (and i've had my share), it is those rare moments when i really connected with someone else- whether chatting about how our majors sculpt where we are headed next in life or over which is better- mc ewan or commons.
i don't care what you say, i love hamilton and i will continue to send them the $50 a year i can afford till i can afford more! :-)
