I applied to Bennington and got in. It was in my top 10. I REALLY was drawn to the Field Work Term aspect of Bennington's academic program. However, Bennington was just a bit too small for me. Like Marlboro & Goddard, it was one of the three Vermont colleges I applied to, and it was just TOO small. The town of Bennington is cute and quaint, but hardly a cultural mecca. Hampshire was still the MUCH better overall fit. Granted, Bennington is probably more academically renowned, but I still couldn't see myself there for four years. One of the most BEAUTIFUL campuses out of all the colleges I applied to though. Bennington definitely scored high on that aspect.
