Columbia vs Amherst

<p>^Wow, considering they loved you enough to send you indications already, I can tell they’re not going to be the only colleges you’re going to have to choose from come April. Keep researching the two, and see which college fits you more personally. Do you enjoy complete academic freedom or a list of required courses in fundamental areas? Do you feel you’ll be able to handle NYC or would you be better off in a small town? Do you want a more intimate set-up or something more spread out, where it’s not only (many) undergraduates like you, but also graduate students? Do you feel you’ll be severely hampered by larger classes and Teacher Assistants in a classroom set-up as opposed to just few students and a professor? Don’t base your decision on other people’s personal choices; base your decision on your own choices.</p>
