<p>pastariffic, are you not so keen on Princeton?</p>
<p>It's weird ... I absolutely loved Princeton. But I'm not sure I want to go there. I wanted to go to a smaller school; I wanted to go to a liberal arts college. I think Amherst is, for me, probably the best LAC out there. I also don't want to go to the same college as my brother, who goes to Princeton. I think Princeton is probably the best undergrad university in the country. I loved the campus, the students, the classes, and the entry system. Yet I'm still not sure it's the right atmosphere for me. It's nitpicky, I know, but it's hard to let go of Amherst when I've dreamed of going there for so long.</p>
<p>But let me make it clear - I know I'm terribly lucky for having Princeton as an option. It just wasn't my first choice.</p>
<p>No I know what you mean!</p>
<p>I would trade my Amherst acceptance for your Princeton one. Wouldn't it be sweet if that were possible?</p>
<p>It would! My brother would be disappointed ... but that's life! </p>
<p>One of my friends got into Amherst, and he would rather go to Princeton, so everyone keeps offering to trade me, but no such luck ...</p>
