Hampshire College Won’t Accept Freshman Class for Fall 2019

The board of trustees of Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts has decided not to accept a class of students for the fall of 2019, on the heels of a recent announcement by school officials that they are looking to merge with another school because of financial problems.

Instead, trustees on Friday, February 1 decided to accept about 60 students who were already admitted through the school's early admission plan last school year but decided to take a gap year between high school and college, according to the Daily Hampshire Gazette.
