If you're looking for a great sports school with a Greek life, this isn't it. Their most competitive athletics are co-ed soccer. However, if you are creative, motivated, passionate about learning and have the ability to structure yourself, Bennington might be of interest. There's just over 600 students here, most live in campus housing; don't call them dorms, they're not. About 30 students each live in the houses with either heated floors or hardwood floors. Males and females sometimes live right next door to and share bathrooms with each other.
Here, there are no majors, no general education requirements and no tests. Students design their own program and receive written evaluations rather than grades. There's lots of creative and performing arts classes but students are encouraged to pursue and learn about whatever they can imagine. Additionally, during each winter break, students must do field work- again, in an area of their choosing. It's a very interesting place that competes for students with Sarah Lawrence with a big difference being where each is located and the type of student that would prefer rural over urban.
