    For two weeks in March Hamilton students disperse during spring break.  Many students travel to warm, exotic places that are far away from the cold, snowy hill.  But not every Hamiltonian ends up at a hotel, on a party boat, or at the beach.  Each year, many students travel south to different communities for philanthropic work with Alternative Spring Break.  This year, Hamilton students will embark on great adventures in California and the Florida Everglades with the Hamilton Outing Club.  Others will stay close to the hill, in Utica, to help better the community.  The Hamilton College Choir will travel to the Midwest for a musical tour in various churches.
