<p>OR!</p>

<p>Hobart College is a good match for me....</p>

<p>Does anybody know how the name works for this school? It used to be two seperate boys and girls schools that are now united under a common administration... does one apply to both? is it phrased as a singular school or as two?</p>

<p>I don't really know, but i don't think it would be plural if they merged. I would guess the 2nd, but its probably better to wait for someone who knows what they are talking about.
do you know anyone who goes there you could ask?</p>

<p>It's one college, so it's singular. Just like Franklin & Marshall College or the College of William & Mary.

<p>Legally, the combined corporation of the two colleges is The Colleges of the Seneca! The HWS website, HWS</a> Homepage states the school's name as, "Hobart and William Smith Colleges." The Class Profile section of the HWS admissions website breaks down admissions stats as follows:</p>

<p>Current first-year students, by the numbers:</p>

<p>Hobart: Applications 1,995; Admitted 949; Matriculated 259.
William Smith: Applications 2,170; Admitted 1,326; Matriculated 335.
Total: Applications 4,165; Admitted 2,275; Matriculated 594. </p>

<p>I believe, "Hobart College is a good match for me...." is correct.</p>
