<p>So---any of you guys who are there tell us what provider you use and how the reception is?</p>
<p>I My daughter and I had no trouble with our Cingular phones while there visiting. With that said, sometimes in the dorms, reception isn't great with any cell phone company. We have found this at a number of schools not just Hamilton. There is just too much interference inside the buildings.</p>
<p>Thanks so much, we are on Cingular- is your daughter a entrying in the fall?</p>
<p>Yes, she is a rising freshman.</p>
<p>Well maybe she and my daughter will find each other-----Just a question--what did you daughter like about Hamilton--it was my daughters 4th or 5th choice but she didn't get into any of her reach schools. The other question I have is are you aware of any drinking issues up their in isolated Clinton---I've been told that there is a problem, notably because of the town's isolation and the lack of activities on weekends. Last but not least, what were your kids stats (feel free not to answer---but mine were)</p>
<p>1430 Sat's
770-800- on her SAT2
92 unwaited average with five AP's all between 4-5
The usual EA's</p>
<p>Anyhow, hope to run into you and congrats to your daughter!</p>
<p>I don't go to Hamilton College, but I thought I'd jump in here, since I live very close by (I'm graduating from Hamilton Central on Saturday!) Cingular and Verizon both work fine. </p>
<p>Also, about the isolation and drinking. Honestly, if you can't find other things to do than drink on weekends if you want to, then you must be pretty darn uncreative. I've lived here forever, and while it's true there's a lot of drinking, it's also true that you can be a non-drinker here and still have stuff to do. Especially on a college campus. I honestly don't know what kids in cities do with their "civilization" (hang out in malls? I don't know...) that we can't do here. Drinking will only be a problem if you make it a problem, and that's true of any college.</p>
<p>Thanks Rabo---I understand that----the problem is that many of these college discussion sites portray Hamilton as an annex of AA. So what are you going to do now that you have graduated?</p>
<p>Well, Hamilton may have a drinking culture but it's not the only thing to do.</p>
<p>I'm going to Brown in the fall.</p>
<p>Thats terrific--great school and I hope you are successful.</p>
<p>There is a site that offers signal boosters for better reception. </p>
<p>When you purchase the signal boosters you are automatically put on list for a free gift of your choice. </p>
<p>I don't think it's a bad deal. </p>
