Hamilton College Campus Life

The food is well-rounded but pretty bland. Lack of seasoning make this area a little lackluster but Hamilton tries its best to cater to everyone with three dining halls on campus and a pub! I am vegetarian so for all of you who don't eat meat, there is a place for you!

The dining hall is beautiful and the food is very diverse. They have a very sensible meal plan.

Haven't had it but people who have tell me it's delicious.

Good!

I've never been unsatisfied by the options in the dining hall. The dining hall staff offers a lot of variety in meals and they rarely serve the same food multiple times a semester (except pizza, salad, etc.). The dining hall staff are also extremely helpful when it comes to navigating dietary restrictions and/or preferences.

The food here is actually really good, with something for every type of eater, accommodating every type of diet.

We have a number of eating options on campus, and as a picky eater I have always found great options. The diner has been one of my favorite places to eat at Hamilton. Theres nothing better than classic diner food after a long week, it also serves breakfast from 12am-4am on the weekends.

There are many options for dining on campus. Our two dining halls, Commons and McEwen, provide food to all 1800 students. The Howard Diner offers another option for classic diner food like hamburgers and chicken tenders. For lunch, the Little Pub offers a nice atmosphere for those looking for a change. One of their most popular dishes is the TCB -- turkey cranberry bacon sandwich! Our two coffee shops on campus, Opus I and II, offer vegetarian lunches throughout the week, and coffee too!

The food gets monotonous sometimes but Hamilton does a great job of spreading out food options.

Hamilton has two on-campus dining halls that offer a wide variety of options through Bon Appetit. We also have a pub on campus that serves lunch during the week and seems to be especially popular among the sports teams. In addition, there is a diner on campus that is open fairly late during the weekdays and serves breakfast into the wee hours of the night on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Hamilton has greek life but it is not that active on campus. They are not allowed to have their own houses and everyone must love on campus so they do throw parties but all on campus.

Good!

Hamilton does offer Greek Life but only about 20% of females and 30% of males participate so it by no means dominates the social scene. If you're looking for a close knit group of friends and are interested in joining a Greek society, go for it! If not, you can still have a close knit group of friends, no big deal!. Greek organizations are only as much a part of your Hamilton experience as you choose to make them.

Greek life is available on campus if you're looking for a group of friends to have fun with, but is easy to avoid if greek like isn't for you. It is in no ways exclusive and, unless you are part of a society, does not have a large presence on campus.

Greek Life exists at Hamilton but we don't have Greek housing (we don't have any sort of group affiliated housing for that matter) and it does not dominate our social scene like it does at many other schools. Sorority and fraternity members are extremely involved in the Hamilton community and represent a wide spectrum of the student body as a whole.

Very prominent - but not necessary. There is only one sorority that has other charters, thus greek life is hardly what it seems.

While roughly 20-30% of both genders participate in Greek life, it isn't exclusive. There is no Greek housing on campus, so the societies act more like clubs in the sense that they need to request social spaces like everyone else. They bring a different dynamic to the weekend social scene, but their gatherings must be all-campus, so everyone is always welcome. Overall, it is easy to get involved, but you don't have to if Greek life isn't your cup of tea.

Greek life is okay, but relatively quiet

present, but not a dominating force at all.
