Hampshire College

Hampshire is extreme sports for the mind. Experience-based. Learner-centered. Inquiry-driven.

Here, you'll take responsibility for your education, customize your curriculum, and move beyond boundaries of disciplines and departments.

No Grades? We believe in meaningful, constructive feedback. Our narrative evaluation system eliminates competition between students.

We're continually improving our "green-ness." We went 100% solar for electricity, banned bottled water, and started LED lightbulb exchanges.

Housing: our 5 residential communities are more than residences; they are the locus of a great range of student activity.

Is there a speaker or emerging band you want to bring to campus? Campus Leadership and Activities will help you make your ideas a reality.

Outdoor Programs: the area is well-known for its diverse mountain biking trails. Rock climbing, skiing, kayaking, rafting, and more await.

The Center for Feminisms works towards an actively anti-sexist campus, providing programs that deal with other forms of oppression.

Spiritual Life helps us question our purpose, develop balance of mind, body, and spirit, and create community across difference.

College Farm: We're one of the few liberal arts schools with a working farm; it's been the focus of academic courses for over 30 years.
