<p>I stole this from the Wesleyan thread, which stolen from some other thread...it would be nice to hear what you all think.</p>
<p>Anyone?...lol.</p>
<p>Here's my personal "Top 10 Reasons for attending Hamilton" list:
10. Nationally recognized writing program.
9. Great student-teacher relations. (They go to the pub and drink together and students go to professors' houses for dinners)
8. Gorgeous gym-- with a swimming pool, a rock-climbing wall, a plethora of workout machines that have headphone connections to a TV... it was the nicest gym i have seen.
7. Beautiful campus.
6. No core curriculum. (YES! i never have to take science again hahaha)
5. A community enviornment-- the school is not so big that you will be just a number
4. Wonderful food, complete with a sushi bar, a stir-fry bar, a giant salad bar, and other delicious items.
3. Root glen-- a beautiful woodland on campus with many trails for walking and snow-shoeing.
2. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Very snowy enviornment... perfect for skiing, snowball fights, sledding, and snuggling next to a fire with hot chocolate.
1. Really friendly and warm student body</p>

<p>Yeah but during my interview I was told that you can take really fun phys. ed. classes like scuba diving and other things that I forget!!!</p>
<p>yeah, it's not like dodgeball or anything... it's got tennis, ice skating, swimming, and other really fun sports.</p>
