I don't know much about Hampshire and if I did my information would be outdated.

Florida will be a wasteland with its public education system destroyed.

New College had hard times in the '70's, and a building program and increase in the number of students which destroyed historic architecture starting when I was there, but I never imagined this happening.

I wonder what the many philanthropists who gave money to New College over its history must be thinking now.

Ok, I know what you're thinking. That was an awkward sentence. My error. Most of them must be gone by now.

It's a long story but they paid for 60% of my tuition (and everyone else's).

It sounds like Hampshire College was having financial problems so this could help them as well as the Nee College students.

I think Jon is correct on this one - if so, it's a possible win-win. Hampshire (aka Hamster) College is actually a really good little progressive college with affiliations to the other schools in the area- such as Smith, UMass, Mt Holyoke, maybe Amherst College?, but it's $$$.

It’s the Five College Consortium, https://www.fivecolleges.edu/

Have a couple of old friends who went there and they seem to have liked the experience and turned out OK. Smiler

But in the face of shrinking population I can see the smaller colleges struggling. UMass Amherst is the only exception being the flagship campus of a state university.
