Clark U vs. Hampshire College vs. Sarah Lawrence vs. Bard

<p>The only one I'm uncertain about applying to is Bard. I've only visited Hampshire and I loved it, Clark as well. From what I've read, I'd fit in well with the liberal/quirky/politically-active environment at any of these schools. I know the basics, but what are the major differences that you noticed, or that turned you on or off from any of these? Which gives the best financial aid? I love Hampshire and SLCs narrative evaluations. and I'm interested in studying some combination of Literature/Writing, Psychology, and Women's Studies.</p>

<p>Four threads for the exact same question is a bit much, don’t you think?</p>

<p>I don’t see the problem in cross posting. OP has questions about four colleges and each college forum differs in level of activity. SLC forum is essentially dead which is a shame yet might reflect the ethos of the school: very individualistic, not really concerned what others think, not interested in promoting itself.</p>

<p>SLC is absolutely amazing.</p>

<p>minimalman Can you elaborate?</p>

<p>Agreed, samuck. I just said the same thing in another friend. What’s the point, Golffather, of criticizing someone like this?</p>
