Hobart and William Smith Colleges - Finger Lakes #2

As a GPS student you should be very familiar with the benefits of an all girls' school but most of you would never consider a women's college, right? Hobart and William Smith Colleges (it's plural because they are two separate schools) offer a unique coordinate program that ensures neither guys nor girls ever feel they are at a single sex school. The admission office, deans and student governments operate independently but students eat and take classes together and even share residence halls. Situated on the shore of Lake Seneca, environmental research takes place daily aboard the Colleges' 65' steel-hulled research vessel, The William Scandling. The campus of 2,000 is very socially conscious, logging over 100,000 hours of community service annually. Service learning is also structured into most study abroad excursions, of which 60% of student partake. An added bonus: HWS is test optional!
