Facts, Figures, and Faces

Each year 1,350 Hampshire students design 1,350 distinctive undergraduate educations. Yet Hampshire students are united in their singularity. On a campus where everyone is doing something different, "What are you working on?" is a good opening gambit. Hampshire students are also united in their energy and initiative. Everyone is intensely pursuing a passion, whether that be activism, acting, literature, or natural science.

With five colleges and three college towns, the Pioneer Valley is an exciting, vibrant place to be. Among the five colleges, lectures, poetry readings, movies, and social events are commonplace. Within the consortium, there are nearly 200 student activities; Hampshire has about 80 student groups each year. In the Pioneer Valley, there are some 63 book stores, 30 museums, 19 art galleries, 21 theatre stages, 35 concert venues, 12 dance clubs, and 220 bike trails. We promise you won't go hungry as there are 69 pizza places, 19 coffee houses, 18 bakeries, 18 delis, 14 health food stores, and 68 restaurants that deliver.
