Pros

As highly experienced staff and trained professionals I always knew that my supervisors had earned their positions in this field. Most had gone to Hamilton as undergrads while others had over 10 years of experience at this institution. They know what they are talking about. Listen to them.

Cons

Because so many of the staff were also undergraduates there at one point there is definitely a sense of institutional "incest" when it comes to institutional policies - with outside viewpoints often taking a backseat. Be mindful of this when discussing university traditions. Also winter here is a nine month season. Be prepared for that.
