There’s no one type of Hamilton student. At Hamilton, you will be accepted for who you are and what you believe. And with a student body of 2,000, you’ll be sure to find friends to hang out with who share your interests.

Strong community

Hamilton is a welcoming community that attracts people from different backgrounds and perspectives. Everyone brings something unique to campus. It’s what makes our College such an interesting place to spend four years. At Hamilton, we value and take care of each other.

A Statement of Community

The Hamilton community gains strength from the diversity of its members. The expression and consideration of differing viewpoints represent education at its best. In our efforts to cultivate an inclusive environment, it is essential that we seek to respect the unique perspectives of individuals on our campus. Students are encouraged to consider the implications of their words and actions. It is a reality that in any diverse community, misunderstandings and conflicts might arise. To work through these disagreements, we as a student body promote engagement in dialogue to create mutual understanding and expanded knowledge. With this in mind, we urge each student to help promote a welcoming community for all.
