<p>I am really interested in the liberal arts programs offered by a lot of eastern schools (Middlebury, Bowdoin, Cornell, <em>Amherst</em>). Being from Texas (and having parents who can’t imagine life North of the Mason-Dixon line) I’m slightly nervous that going to a school like Amherst would be a little bit of a culture shock for me. If somebody could give me info on what life at Amherst is like, that would be awesomeI just want to get some sort of idea of how I would fit in.</p>
