Things I Wish I Knew Before Coming to Hampshire

Paperwork at Hampshire can be a nightmare.

Independent studies take a lot of legwork and sheer luck
because it's tough to get the right faculty to sign on to a
project (many are overworked as it is).

Most student–initiated long–term projects are hard to
sustain. Many things collapse or disappear as a core group
of students graduate.

Film/video, photography, and creative writing classes
are really hard to get enrolled in, especially if you're not
concentrating in that field.

Don't count on a specific class always being offered.
