I loved Hartwick College. It was a fantastic school with a beautiful campus. I got a lot of personal attention from my professors, and class sizes were all small.

Economics department is great.

Hartwick was the worst decision I had ever made. Hartwick High School is the best way to describe it as the people are immature, the classes & teachers are boring with a poor selection of classes & class times; so good luck making your schedule; boring social life opportunities, TERRIBLE food in the dining hall, & overpriced everything! DONT GO!

Transfers beware. False promises of timely completion of degree will be whisked away while you watch underclassman register before you. Special degree requirements and course sequence mandates prevent enrollment for much desired/needed classes. Overinflated scholarships cloud excessive COA and value of education.

Totally opposite of what I thought it was going to be. Very disappointing.
Overall 1.9
This college is not what it is hyped up to be. The stairs get really annoying, and it's very hard to make friends because everyone comes here with their clicks beforehand. The best part about this school is the money that they give you, thats about it. Almost all the students that go here are on sports teams and thats about the entire campus.

This place seems great at first but it isn't where you will succeed. Good professors are a rarity, and most people there want to transfer but can't or are in the process of transferring. Traveling for J-term is the only perk of the college. Don't let the small size fool you they care less about you than than the larger ones. Don't attend here.

The school focuses on their athletes. Academics has no priority at this school. They do have a good nursing program and geology program is amazing! The biology program is absolutely terrible! terrible biology professors and terrible class focus. Math majors get into pre-med before our biology students.

Three words: Hartwick High School. No one here cares about anything and steer clear if you can't tolerate immature babies. Professors are great, too bad 90% of their audience is completely apathetic.
