Hampshire College describes itself as an experimenting college because it is always changing and improving how it does things, rather than doing the same thing as other colleges. Students usually do individual projects in order to move towards [[graduation]]. There is some required coursework, but it is not the main point of the school. Students also do not receive grades for completing their work. Instead, they get something called a ''narrative evaluation'', which is a long written explanation of what they did right and what they did wrong. There are also no specific required classes for graduation, but students must take classes in different areas depending on where they are in their studies.
