Where in the world is Abigail Quirk '16
November 7, 2014The first email I sent my parents after arriving in Copenhagen was simply a list of all the cultural differences I had noticed. I didn’t really know what to expect, but I was still shocked that in a country where I blend into a sea of tall blondes and everyone over the age of 14 speaks English fluently, I still found myself feeling like I was in an entirely different world.

From Where I Sit: Hamilton’s International Perspectives
October 31, 2014I am an American Korean college student at Hamilton College, and I’m from New York City, where there is a variety of cultural foods. After spending time in Clinton, I have noticed that the ethnic cuisine is limited to Chinese, American and Mexican. I want to share a part of my background with Clinton residents and share my knowledge about why Korean food is healthy and can be part of a well-rounded diet. More ...
Senior Reflection: The Growing Pains of Expanding Your Comfort Zone
October 31, 2014I came to Hamilton hoping to expand my horizons and encounter students and faculty with ideas and perspectives different from my own. That’s what college is for, right? Like countless others, I chose Hamilton because of its open curriculum and reputation for student involvement. As a shy high school student I naively thought that Hamilton’s very nature would coax me out of my shell, that the hands-on and unique learning opportunities the brochures bragged about would simply happen to me without me trying. But guess what? They didn’t. Perhaps if I had read single email I might have known about a few more of these opportunities, but alas I did not. Instead I spent my freshman year immersing myself in academics and finding a friend base, but not branching out much to take advantage of other opportunities. More ...
Hogwarts takes the Hill
October 31, 2014Forget chemistry and history—last weekend Hamilton was home to potions and divination, and for two brief nights turned itself into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. On the evenings of Friday Oct. 24 and Saturday Oct. 25 evening, over 60 students gathered in Benedict Hall to put on improvised skits for local residents and Hamilton students, all while acting out characters from the Harry Potter series. This was the fourteenth year of the show, and despite the book series end seven years ago it drew just as many participants as ever before. More ...
Sex and the Campus
October 31, 2014Over the past few days, images on BuzzFeed and other websites have surfaced depicting ‘the offensive couple’s Halloween costume to trump all offensive couples’ Halloween costumes’. I almost couldn’t believe it, but there it was: costumes depicting a domestic violence perpetrator and survivor. More ...
