Bard College at Simon's Rock- what's it like? Is it's reputation good/bad?

<p>I've heard some people call it 'Slimy Rock', which was kind of worrying, but I'm really interested in applying next year and would appreciate any information on what it's like there.
Also, does anyone know if it would be hard to go from years of learning in the British system to their style of teaching?</p>
