[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s talk honestly: Williams and Amherst are great liberal arts colleges—but they’re not inherently better than the rest of the top 50.

The prestige surrounding these two schools often overshadows the fact that many other liberal arts colleges offer just as rigorous academics, strong faculty mentorship, close-knit communities, and better support for a wider range of students. Schools like Pomona, Swarthmore, Carleton, Denison, Davidson, Grinnell, and many others consistently deliver top-tier outcomes—often with less elitism and more emphasis on accessibility and innovation.

Yes, Williams and Amherst have name recognition, but that doesn’t automatically mean a better education or student experience. In fact, the obsession with “top two” rankings tends to reinforce narrow definitions of success that overlook what actually makes a college experience meaningful: mentorship, opportunity, fit, and growth.

It’s time to stop treating Williams and Amherst like they’re in a league of their own. They’re part of a much broader landscape of excellent liberal arts institutions that deserve equal attention and respect.[/quote]Thanks chatgpt[/quote]
