[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I've appreciated about the consortium is living in a real college town with bars, late night restaurants, and easy accessibility to pretty much any chain store you can think of, as opposed to being in a backwater like Williamstown.

Amherst is a poor shadow of a real college town, shockingly small and run down.[/quote]It has everything that I want. And I don't see what you mean by "run down."[/quote]

They mean it's not fancy, as if college students care about that. [/quote]I grew up not too far from Princeton, NJ. I'm very glad that downtown Amherst is the way it is, and not ultra-fancified like Princeton. You have to shell out at least $30 to do anything there.[/quote]

Same with Harvard Square. It used to be so fun and accessible for students, but is so corporate and expensive now.[/quote]
There are so many cheap shops in Harvard square that I have to think you’re just judging a book by its cover at this point.

There’s really no need for a place to look run down in order for college students to enjoy it.[/quote]
