Colleges and Universities A-Z Amherst College

<p>ok, here are the choices:</p>

<p>UNC Chapel Hill
Williams College
Amherst College</p>

<p>A little about me:</p>

<p>I want a school where students are generally happy and friendly. I wish to pursue a career in law or businees; more the former. In addition to having a strong community, it is important for me to go to a school that is well-known and will help me enter a decent grad school or garner a great position after graduation. On a level of 1 to 10, my prestige factor is maybe a 6 or 7. I’m not too athletically geared and I like intellectual conversations. I’m a bit of a home oriented person, but sometimes I’ll be outgoing (usually when i have friends around). I want a school that’s technologically up to date and has lots of culture. Basically, I want to feel like a scholar…lol. Oh! I also want a school that is very welcoming, where it will be easy for me to participate in clubs and such.</p>

<p>So where should I go?</p>

<p>Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>Do a search for some of the wonderful comments momrath has written on life at Williams. Also use the old board's search feature. Seach-Subject lines-Ind schools-Williams. You will get last year's archives with more comparisons then you want to know. My S got into both but since he wants to study art history Williams would be a better choice for him. Great choice for you. Congrats.:)</p>

<p>both A and W fit your specifications, and A has a ton of students who pursue careers in law. A major difference bet. the two is location, which you might want to consider. </p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>
