[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the reason our DS decided against enrolling at Amherst or William after admitted students visit, was athlete-non athlete divide. [/quote]

Amherst has a miserably antagonistic atmosphere these days, Williams less so. At Amherst all sorts of groups hate each other. So, it’s not just an athlete divide. It’s literally all groups. [/quote]

So your son is not an athlete? I went to Williams and was an athlete. I think non-athletes were called “noners” affectionately or maybe that’s what I called them in my head. Hard to say now. Williams doesn’t have sororities/fraternities so you party with your team(s) sometimes but other people can come and there are plenty of other parties. It’s not that big a deal. I find it hard to believe someone would turn down Williams and Amherst for another liberal arts school that likely had a similar situation with athletes/non-athletes. That sounds beyond stupid.[/quote]

As great as Williams and Amherst are, there are always great reasons why someone might prefer other LACs. Of course Amherst and Williams don't have a monopoly on individual fit. [/quote]
