<p>Can anyone speak to the academics of HWS? Is it an intellectual atmosphere? Is it academically challenging? Do students perform well? How is HWS grad school placement? I'm interested in applying and I love the campus and overall vibe but I'm a bit worried about its reputation as a party school.</p>

<p>the academics are still quite strong - undergraduate-focused and plenty of well-prepared, driven students.
Since the party reputation worries you, email admissions and ask them to list what there was to do on campus last weekend. If there were several things you were interested in, then you’re fine, you’ll have lots to do outside the parties!</p>
