Hobart and William Smith Colleges Reviews
However, it wasn't all bad - there were a handful of students actually academically motivated, and I was able to quite easily get independent studies in more advanced topics in my major once I "ran out" of regularly offered classes to take. What good there was at HWS was often just individuals acting contrary to the general culture.
