[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not get the best of both worlds (New England and a consortium) at Amherst?[/quote]

The consortium in Amherst is a different animal than the one in Claremont - they are essentially on one campus. No shuttles required - not even a long walk.  (But Amherst is a great place to go to school too...even without a shuttle-accessible consortium)[/quote]
What makes that different from a University? Amherst sounds like a real consortium.[/quote]

Because it is 5 different schools.....that happen to be built together like a university. Each campus has it's own style. Each school is unique.[/quote]
But it is clearly a university that just lacks a central administration? Why would students want to be on 5 different campuses, sounds stressful and inconvenient.[/quote]
I eat my words, It is a university with a central administration: [url]https://services.claremont.edu/leadership/[/url]. These kids should discover national universities. It'll blow their minds[/quote]

Claremont has more distinct colleges with their own status. There’s no niche academic branding if you go do a big university. You’re lumped in with everyone else.[/quote]
