<p>How is Amherst in sciences? Specifically, biology and chemistry?</p>
<p>Well, I attended the Diversity Open House and sat in Introduction to Biology, Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. Obviously, these are classes Amherst considers "huge." I thought I would see over 150+ people sitting, but there were about 60-80, and the professor knew each of his/her students by name! It was absolutely remarkable in that usually, these intro courses would not have individual attention as other colleges/universities' courses. Let me just add that they just built a new science building, so everything is state-of-the art. The building was really new and great to do research in. Not to mention they actually have many courses in these sciences.</p>
<p>As you can see, that DIVOH really helped me put Amherst as one of my top choices.</p>
