Hobart and William Smith Colleges

"My oh my was our visit here just fantastic. I came here with a buddy of mine who attended this fine institution many moons ago. He showed us around all the main attractions of this place of higher learning. Movie theater. Library that has books and stuff. Courtyard. Art. Place where some guy named Tommy ruffled some feathers. Big ol party with lots a young fella and misses havin a ball soaking up the last bits of summer and bouncing around a castle. We looked at the math and science buildings but not for long because our pal didn’t really do much of those harder subjects. Real beautiful everywhere we looked so much so I started telling my old lady that we should go back to college, maybe even at this place itself. Thanks for the memories!"

"Neo Gothic, Ivy covered halls full of rich ceremonial traditions preserved by an empathetic administration with an impressive network of supportive alumni who continue to value their affiliation and time spent at the prestigious colleges of Hobart & William Smith. The President is an inspiring and impressive person who has demonstrated her prioritization of fostering academic exploration, independent and critical thinking, diversity of thought, international partnerships with ancient institutions abroad and the management and preservation of the high esteem of the colleges."

"School is amazing. Campus is wide open . Fairly small campus and could do more for the community and students. Should integrate community and service to the community. Seems like a separate entity from the city it is in. Reminds me of a cheap Fordham university. They also seemed separated from the bronx."

"We live near these great colleges. Pre-pandemic we attended sports, student plays and performances and walked in their field house. The campus is beautiful and essential to the health of Geneva. If our grown children were of college age I would send them here in a heartbeat."

"We loved our visit with our daughter whom is seriously considering HWS for the Fall of 2021. Campus was especially beautiful this time of year (early Fall). Our tour guide Michael was very well versed and articulate and the admissions crew (Jessica and others) were very knowledgeable and helpful. The town of Geneva is a great college town and being right on Lake Seneca is a huge bonus. Absolutely visit if you are even considering applying."
