[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In terms of collegiality/lack of Uber-competitive types, I would place the top NESCAC schools closer to the midwestern SLACS than HYP. When I was at Amherst, there was very little overt competition for grades or jobs/internships. Everyone pursued whatever they were interested in and others were happy for them when things planned out. My sense from talking to friends who went to HYP is that there was a lot more overt competitiveness for jobs/internships. Most of the students at Amherst were friendly and not obsessed with prestige etc. The one problem area was a small minority became hostile/destructive when drinking (which I suppose you’ll find anywhere but maybe slightly less at Midwestern SLACS).[/quote] That sounds pretty good. Do other Amherst students/grads agree?[/quote]
