    oh, the hill
    Mariza R.

    colgate is homogeneous-- you go to colgate because you belong at colgate-- for the most part its a good school- solid education, and its a good time

    I was never in better condition as I was when I walked up and down that hill at least twice a day.

    I do not even know where to begin. I was admitted to Hamilton college as an OP student and…read moretransferred out recently. I have written articles on my experiences if you are of interest, many of which are too long to discuss in this review -- https://www.hamiltonmonitor.com/post/colonizing-my-life-back. Currently Hamilton is experiencing a housing crisis since they have over enrolled students and force all students to live on campus. Imagine paying 80k in tuition to live in a trailer park because there's not enough room? Their food quality is horrible, I have gotten sick eating here too many times to count. There is no accessible dorms or spaces at Hamilton, they can't even get a voting poll station because of how inaccessible and non ADA compliant the campus is. I have many more critiques but all I will say in this review is I would not recommend Hamilton to any student, especially low income first gen students of color, like myself. This college values and prioritizes their white affluent student, as most colleges do. I appreciate the mentorship I've gained here, the professors, and other students of colors I've met and made lifetime friendships with. Aside from the trauma I've gained from the two years I spent here, the environment is beautiful! I've never experienced such clean air and open spaces like this coming from Los Angeles.

    Excellent college. My son attends and the teachers a phenomenal. Grounds are beautiful. Facilities…read moreare great too! So glad we found this school! Besides being an excellent place for education, they supply a ton of jobs for the surrounding area. It's really an amazing part of Oneida County. Thank you to Hamilton College!

    Positives: Student to faculty ratio - I went here from…read more2004-2008 and had a great 4 year student experience. When I was there, the student to faculty ratio was 12:1. The most amount of students in any one class I took was 40. The smallest was 5. The professors were easily accessible and approachable and many of them are still there. The student body was only about 1,400 at the time, but it has increased slightly. This is definitely a tight-knit college community where students have a real opportunity to get to know their peers and professors. J-Term - Hartwick has trimesters. "J-Term" is a course students can take in January to knock out some credits before the spring semester starts up in February. There are several opportunities to travel abroad during this time, none of which are included in the cost of tuition. The College does, however, have scholarship opportunities to help fund the experience. Night life - Plenty of bars and Greek life off campus. Some say Oneonta is a "drinking town with a college problem." Three year program - Just before I graduated, Hartwick introduced a three year program to students who wanted to save some money and graduate early. A great idea to help make college more affordable, but the requirements seemed pretty stringent, so be prepared to work your butt off if you choose this path. Negatives: Tuition - Each of my four years there, tuition increased about 3% per year. When I enrolled as a freshman, it was around $36,000/year. By the time I left as a senior, it was around $42,000. Then again, tuition hikes seems to be consistent for private liberal arts colleges across the board. Semesters abroad - While I was a student, Hartwick didn't have its own semester abroad program (not to be confused with overseas travel opportunities offered during J-Term). The College outsourced semesters abroad, so to speak, to Central College in Pella, Iowa. So my two semesters abroad meant transferring tuition from Hartwick to Central, which I recall getting muddled up at the Bursar's Office on a few occasions. I'm not sure whether this has changed. Other: The student population is very diverse, which may or may not be for you. On the one hand, you have the music/artsy type students and on the other, you have a pretty solid D3 football team. You have students from all over the world participating in D1 women's water polo and D1 men's soccer. Overall, this is a liberal arts college so just look at the list of majors and sports offered and those lists will speak to this diversity. I highly, highly, highly recommend Hartwick.

    An excellent school. Great academic programs, newly renovated dorms, separate environmental campus…read morenearby with lake and hiking trails for recreational and scientific research use. Creative campus employment opportunities, excellent internship and study-abroad opportunities. I was able to complete my 4 year program in 3 1/2 years, and went on to graduate school (Had my choice of grad schools with Hartwick College on my application!) I had excellent professors. I graduated in 2009, but most of the professors I had at that time are still there. Beautiful views, huge library, excellent academic advisors / career services assistance.

    Well, since this is here, I better give my 2 cents. I am an extremely proud graduate of this…read moreawesome university ( recent politics aside).... Founded by Ezra Cornell in 1865, it contains 7 colleges, 4 which are land grant/ NY state subsidized (SUNY, or State University of New York).( College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, College of Human Ecology, Industrial and Labor Relations, and College of Veterinary Medicine)College of Arts and Sciences, College of Engineering, College of Architecture, Art and Planning. Photos are from today. Cornell has the most beautiful, or gorges campus ( Ithaca is gorges)... built over a few gorges with safety nets and bars to prevent the stress of academic life from making drastic decisions ( sad but true). Each quad is unity and has its own feel, and there are several newer buildings, not all consistent with the original beautiful architecture. No visit here would be complete without visits to Uris Library's President AD White Library, McGraw Tower, the terrace overlooking campus and Cayuga Lake from Willard Straight Hall, Sage Chapel, the Law School's Annabel Taylor Hall, Beebe Lake, Lynah Rink... you get it.

It's beautiful, gorgeous as they say in Ithaca they have such a variety of programs they offer. The campus is beautiful. It's up all these cascading hills with waterfalls breaking through the campus in two spots. There's a combination of modern buildings with Panik views. Collegetown has some great restaurants actually some of the better restaurants in the city of Ithaca are in Collegetown they like make your own bento and some hot pot places and a variety of other cuisines, but cool old architecture, vine covered buildings there's so much to experience in and learn at Cornell. Dictated but not read. Lol
