[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These issues are very much on our minds in my family.  My grandson is admitted to Dartmouth, Amherst, and the U with oodles of merit aid from the U.  No money from Dartmouth or Amherst.  He will visit them all and then decide.  My gut tells he will get the best education at Amherst in his non STEM 
 major, but that maybe because i went to a LAC and got a lot out of it.  On the other hand, Dartmouth is bigger and an Ivy, and at the U he would be the top of his class with lots of extras because he would be in several special programs.  He is having a hard time with the decision.  Wants to do law, and I am wondering if Dartmouth would open more doors.[/quote]

Don't count on him getting the best education from Amherst.  I've had some incredibly poorly educated grad students who were A students there.  Also one exceptionally intelligent and reasonably well-read grad student who was an A student there.  Seems like everyone's an A student at Amherst.  [/quote]
