If I were applying to colleges now today, nearly 20 years after graduating, I'd STILL have Hampshire as my #1 choice. It was my #1 choice in 1992 when I first applied, and I would go back and attend again. Hampshire is as academically rigorous as each INDIVIDUAL student makes it for THEMSELVES.

It's NOT an "easy" college -- in fact, ALL my post-grad work was EASIER than getting my Bachelor's @ Hampshire had been. For the right student, Hampshire can be AMAZING. For the wrong student, well, they won't last there.
