Amherst

• Impressions of being like the Harvard of the Liberal Arts world (although it might be different).

• Open Curriculum

  • Very good (blu3mo)(blu3mo)(blu3mo)

• Five College Consortium

  • Because there are four other colleges nearby, the surrounding area is more prosperous than just Williams alone.
    • (Although it feels like a matter of personal preference).

• Compared to other liberal arts colleges, it is closer to the city (along the coast)?

  • That’s not really the case.

    • It’s about an hour to Boston (rickshinmi).
      • Are you searching for something wrong? (blu3mo)
      • 
        • Oops, my bad…
        • Wait… I remember it took about an hour (rickshinmi).
        • It’s actually about an hour and a half by car!
        • 

  • 5 hours to NYC.

• I’m undecided whether to choose it or not.

  • It definitely has a very good environment.
  • However, based on my current criteria, it’s too rural and not a viable option.
  • The problem is how much I trust my current criteria.

• It’s slightly more urban than Williams.
