Please Help Me Make A Decision! Williams vs Amherst....vs UNC?

Applying to College
1

ok, here are the choices:

UNC Chapel Hill
Williams College
Amherst College

A little about me:

I want a school where students are generally happy and friendly. I wish to pursue a career in law or businees; more the former. In addition to having a strong community, it is important for me to go to a school that is well-known and will help me enter a decent grad school or garner a great position after graduation. On a level of 1 to 10, my prestige factor is maybe a 6 or 7. I’m not too athletically geared and I like intellectual conversations. I’m a bit of a home oriented person, but sometimes I’ll be outgoing (usually when i have friends around). I want a school that’s technologically up to date and has lots of culture. Basically, I want to feel like a scholar…lol. Oh! I also want a school that is very welcoming, where it will be easy for me to participate in clubs and such.

So where should I go?

Thanks for your help!

<p>Is money a factor? What are the aid packages like.</p>

<p>Prestige; Williams and Amherst are amongst the top 3 LAC's in the country, your chances of getting in to law school would be good at either one of them.</p>

<p>All are great schools. Amherst and Williams are definitley smaller. Williams is very isolated, beautiful, strong sense of community but rural.</p>

<p>Amherst is nice and has the benefit of the 5 college consortium, some love it, some hate it and say that it is hard to get classes.</p>
