Hobart and William Smith Colleges Reviews
There is a striking lack of diversity in the college. This is mostly because of the high tuition attracting wealthy families who are, especially in this area, primarily white. I think increasing diversity would greatly help the school develop more well-rounded students. As it is, a lot of students don't feel the need to push themselves and are content with being B-tier.
The food, as well, is quite lackluster. There are a good amount of options but none of the on-campus food really provides anything more than basic nutrients. Still, the campus is very nicely integrated with the surrounding city, which opens up a lot of options to the student body.
