Hampshire College Top Questions

No. Of my four years at Hampshire I've been friends with people who are straightedge and those who are not. Many people I know do smoke pot and/or drink, but it has only gotten in the way of one friendship. The majority of students on this campus are committed to their work and relationships on this campus.

Not as much as they probably used to be. Hampshire costs so much money that the people who can go here represent a much more upper middle class homogonized culture.

Yes

There is a lot of pot smoking. There are many smart Hampshire students but a fair amount of disorganized idiots. People are some times over sensitive about issues but unaware of the actual workings of the issue itself. Hampshire is basically white, and the multi cultural portion of Hampshire mostly segregates itself from the rest.

there are a fair amount of hippies, but on the most part the majority of Hampshire students shower. Also, there is a lot of marijuana :(

Sometimes; it depends on who you talk to. There are definitely people who fit the stereotype, but plenty of people who don't.

No. Many people do smoke week and do many other drugs all the time, but there is also a small subfree or partially subfree community. Many people do drop out after one, but they are usually the ones who didn't want to come to college in the first place anyhow. At Hampshire, you get what you give. People here are much more accepting than most other places, but there is still discrimination against minorities.
