<p>I’m looking to play lacrosse in college and have been speaking with the Amherst coach. Originally when I first looked at the school I was turned off by it’s distance from the city and small campus. Of course, I went when there were no students so I’ll have to do a tour and meet with the coach eventually. I’m thinking August. My question is how well Athletics are viewed/attended at Amherst, specifically women’s lacrosse. I know they’re good but does the student body recognize athletic accomplishments? </p>
<p>I’m glad to hear Amherst is more diverse and easy going than some of it’s LAC counterparts in New England. What type of social scene goes on in a small town like Amherst? Is it all about work hard, party hard? Or are students intrested in doing other things with their time?</p>
