[quote=Anonymous][quote]I’ve heard mostly miserable things about Amherst. Yes, the kids are smart and the education is great, but half the students are athletes and it’s all very cliquey. Speaking as someone who works with both of these schools, what you wrote describes Hamilton very well, not Amherst.[/quote] NP. My DC played a sport at a different NESCAC, and had friends that were students and athletes at several other NESCAC schools. What PP said is absolutely accurate - friend at Amherst told my DC that he would never want to be a "NARP" (non-athlete regular person) at Amherst, because there is such a divide between the athletes and non-athletes with very little mixing in. I believe Amherst has the highest percentage of student-athletes of all NESCAC schools.[/quote]
