Review & FAQ:
Hampshire College spans approximately 800 acres. Though offering several 50 different majors, including queer studies, psychoanalytic studies, and game design, it is the campus as a whole that is unique to the area. Along with a yurt that houses the student radio system, Hampshire College is one of the first to focus on becoming entirely self-sustainable by living off of fossil fuels. Huge steps have been taken to prevent greenhouse emissions, such as letting many areas go back to seed, turning parking lots into meadows, and installing solar panels to reduce electricity costs by millions.
