[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And then someone Posts "a lot of internationals are aware of Amherst" and somebody else says "no. There aren't." Yet, I know Amherst recruits in s. and c am. I post that information.

Move on... Yes international people know what Amherst is. If you don't believe it I don't care. But it is relevant to the conversation.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MIT, Stanford, maybe one or two others. Berkeley? 
Few people outside the US have heard of any of these small liberal arts places like Williams.[/quote]

There sure are a lot of internationals who are aware of Amherst.  It offers generous aid to internationals.[/quote]

No, there aren't. I bet less than one in a thousand people even in the UK would have heard of Amherst.[/quote]

I have 5 friends from S. Am. That went to Amherst. (Honduras, Columbia, Peru)[/quote]

Well done. That is great for you, but irrelevant for this discussion.[/quote]

Well they are foreigners and they went to a prestigious college. How is it irrelevant? They abviously "heard" of Amherst.[/quote]

Because the question was about what schools foreigners consider prestigious, not what colleges have foreigners attending. There are foreigners in every college and university, even north dakota.

Imagine a thought experiment:

Suppose I know some foreigners in North Dakota University

I am on a website and someone asks "What schools do foreigners consider prestigious?"

Do I then start yabbering on about all the foreigns I know at North Dakota University?

No, I don't. Because it is not relevant.

Hope this helps![/quote][/quote]

Being aware doesnt equal prestigious. Not by a long stretch.[/quote]
