What is something unique (programs, clubs, etc) that Hamilton offers that you can’t find in most other schools?

Broadly
Hamilton’s history is inherent to what distinguishes the current Hamilton. At a time when other schools of its general type were rigid and monastic, Hamilton was creating a progressively oriented college (which happened to be for women, though that is not the point here) under its auspices. Although this was a long time ago, and Hamilton is now one unified institution, the legacy of a curriculum – and, to some degree, a culture – balanced with elements of the classical and the innovative has been maintained. And the architecture of this period, itself unapologetically, but cleanly, innovative, provides an imaginative physical diversity to the campus, expanding it well beyond what is typical for small, or even large, schools. To the extent that these elements are real and tangible, there is no other college like it.
No core curriculum allows students to easily double major.
