Hamilton announced on Sept. 17 that it had suspended operations for its off-campus student programs in China, France, Spain, New York City, and Washington, D.C. Applications for non-Hamilton study abroad programs closed on Oct. 7. The Off-Campus Study Office is now providing advising for students interested in studying abroad for Summer 2021, Fall 2021, and subsequent semesters.
About two-thirds of Hamilton students take part in off-campus study opportunities that range from the College’s highly rated language programs in China, France, and Spain to internships with Hamilton’s D.C. and NYC programs to field research with program providers in places like New Zealand and Costa Rica.
PURSUE YOUR PASSION
At each off-campus destination, Hamilton students expand their knowledge through academics and real-world engagement. Internships are a major component of Hamilton’s domestic programs. Students who study abroad in language immersion programs pledge to speak no English, emerging from the challenge with greatly improved skills, confidence in their own abilities and a global perspective.
Domestic Study
Hamilton’s programs in New York City, Washington, D.C., and at the New England Center for Children in Boston provide students with opportunities to combine rigorous academic preparation with practical experience.
Where Students Study
Hamilton In the World
From our campus in Clinton, N.Y., students travel the world to study, conduct research, perform and volunteer.
Student Reflections
South America
Andres Aguilar
Be willing to do things alone. While I was in Argentina, every day I would just jump on the metro and go somewhere in Buenos Aires. I ended up [going] everywhere!
Jordan
Brenda Narvaez
Now that I look back on my time abroad I realize that I have grown a lot, and that my interests around immigration before going abroad did not change so much as they evolved.
China
Aaron Balivet
I remember the sense of accomplishment I felt when I was walking on the street and realized that I passively understood what was being said around me without needing to focus my attention.
Germany
Michael Lubelczyk
On Sundays my friends and I would play pick-up soccer. Our love for the game brought us together and our conversations taught us how similar we all were, despite the differences in our backgrounds.
Denmark
Linnea Sahlberg
Taking a course in video game development allowed me to explore a completely different area of computer science. I met a lot of people in the industry as I traveled through Denmark and Germany.
Japan
Richard Njoroge
My time in Japan taught me how to adapt while remaining true to myself. Exploring Tokyo with friends solidified the experience for me, making ICU and Tokyo feel more like home.
