Pfffft. Amherst has been popular on and off since the early 80s.


Applications nearly doubled from our high school this year. To be clear, this is UMass Amherst, not Amherst.

They see trends. I see it among peers and colleagues' kids. It makes sense, somebody raves about it-- a sibling, friend, etc. they visit...it creates a buzz.



So name one.


I did. U Mich AA.


Never heard of that school, ever.

And I don't mean 'fad' as in they aren't good schools, it's just that they become all the buzz for a few years.

Our HS saw an unusually large group going to U Mich Ann Arbor. More than ever in the past. And, the kids in our neighborhood all have Michigan sweatshirts.

Its a great school, but statistically crazy how many in my immediate area half-way across the country are going there.

Every few years there seems to be an out-of-state school that has all of the buzz and soon you know a ton of kids in your neighborhood/school that are going there. It's like all the kids talk and they all want to go there.

What is it this year?
