Hampshire's Website...

Colleges and Universities A-Z Hampshire College

<p>Okay, am I the only one who is a little annoyed by the bareness of Hampshire's "The Hub" website for applicants? The only options I have are looking at the things I've submitted, looking at courses (which, honestly, I'm not going to do until I'm at least accepted), and typing in the code from my acceptance letter for an admissions deposit - but I don't even get an acceptance/rejection letter until late March!</p>

<p>Is anyone else a little confused by the fact that that's all their website has? It sounds a little silly now that I've typed it out, but....it was kind of bothering me before haha. I guess I feel like I'm being teased because I haven't gotten "my acceptance letter" to enter any code off of yet :(</p>

<p>....anybody else as neurotic as I am? haha</p>

<p>The Hub (<a href=“Error”>https://thehub.hampshire.edu/TheHub/TheHub?TYPE=M&PID=CORE-WBMAIN&TOKENIDX=936812806&lt;/a&gt;) is just what Hampshire uses for access to applicant info, student data, courses and financial info. It was not intended to provide any additional information beyond that.</p>

<p>Most information about the college is contained on their regular Web site ([Hampshire</a> College](<a href=“http://www.hampshire.edu/]Hampshire”>http://www.hampshire.edu/)), plus the Hampshire Intranet (<a href=“https://intranet.hampshire.edu/[/url]”>https://intranet.hampshire.edu/&lt;/a&gt;) , which requires a student/staff account for access. There’s also Hampshire’s Discussion Board (<a href=“https://intranet.hampshire.edu/disctest/[/url]”>https://intranet.hampshire.edu/disctest/&lt;/a&gt;) , which you should be able to access with your applicant login. Finally, there’s Hampedia (<a href=“https://hampedia.org/wiki/Main_Page[/url]”>https://hampedia.org/wiki/Main_Page&lt;/a&gt;) , which contains some information posted by students.</p>

<p>The Hub is kind of bare-bones, and apparently there is a plan to re-do it soon. But you should realize that it is only where you go to get registration, enrollment and financial information.</p>

<p>ALF: That was a very nice, helpful, thorough response. Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>Yeah- the Hub is really administrative in nature. Don’t think my D uses it hardly at all except for some registration stuff. I think Moodle (sp?) is used for a lot of class related stuff.
There is also a 5 college consortium “daily digest” which I think is a list serve that students use (and of course various Facebook groups- some just Hampshire and some the 5 colleges).</p>

FYI, Hampshire just renovated their website. I think it is pretty good, and certainly not the typical college website.
