an uber-liberal, semi-rural 4-yr college in western ma.
hampshire college is a member of the five college consortium and is viewed as the eccentric hippie school. a well known myth maintains that the characters in scooby doo were based on the colleges in the consortium. hampshire is said to have been the basis for sh-ggy although it did not open until 1970, after the show first aired.
students receive evaluations rather than grades. even if you ask, professors will not convert your eval to a grade. each student has an adviser who, unlike at most schools, tends to actually have a significant role in the student’s life.
hampshire is unique in that it has a farm center and blacksmithing forges. its strong subject areas are in the natural sciences and film & photography.
hampshire has a small population, but students can take cl-sses, enroll in clubs, and party at the other four schools so diversity (except ideological) and resources are not as limited as at other schools of a similar size.
“isn’t will great? he just edited this essay i wrote for my amherst cl-ss.”
“yeah, he gave me some really helpful advice last week. g-d…will is f-cking hilarious. i can’t wait until i take another cl-ss with him next semester.”
“the white folks against racism coalition is campaigning for the school to establish a post for an anti-racism professor.”
“what is this idealistic bullsh-t? hampshire college’s budget and endowment are so sh-tty we have to pay for the library’s printer paper.”
