Is it safe to say that this is a "smart kid" school?

<p>I'm applying next year, so just curious. It seems that the learning structure would attract that sort of student, considering the self-motivation required...right?</p>

<p>Well it’s a fair mix because a lot of people apply thinking that the lack of structure leaves room for slacking off. That being said, most of these people are supposed to not last (hence the somewhat higher dropout rate). At the same time people do say that it is possible to coast by… But there is a certain air of intellectualism that Hampshire promotes, yes.</p>
