ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ Hamilton, NY

In the center of New York, on a hillside at the northern edge of the Allegheny Plateau, lies a town known as one of the friendliest in America — Hamilton, New York.

This is ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½â€™s hometown, a village of about 4,000 people, where most of the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ faculty and staff live. With its restaurants, cafes, and shops, as well as the landmark ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ Inn and Hamilton Theater, Hamilton is the quintessential university town.
