Campus Life

Hamilton operates like a small city, but has the feel of a close community. The resources are amazing for a student population of 1,850 students, and the options are as varied as the students who call our campus home.

Climate Commitment

Campus Life

Hamilton is like a small city. We have our own government, newspaper, radio station, health center, bookstore, orchestra, art museum, theatre, chapel, sports teams and fitness center. And if you can’t find what you want on campus, we run a jitney to area attractions that offer a diverse array of dining, shopping and cultural options.

Where to Live

From large residence halls to small houses and apartments, and from singles to quads to suites, we offer a wide range of housing options.

Where to Eat

Our food options are good, but they’ll never compare to what you’re used to at home. On the other hand, the mango brie panini at Café Opus is something you’ll write home about.

What to Do

Among a student body of 1,850 incredibly talented and diverse students, you’re certain to find friends who share your interests.

How to Get Around

Hamilton students don't need a car on campus to run an errand, visit the mall or go out to dinner and a movie. They can use the Jitney shuttle service, sign up for a Zipcar, take a taxi or hop the public bus.
