<li><p>Does anyone know anything about figure skating at Amherst? Is there a club? For what experience levels?</p></li>
<li><p>What foreign language departments have the best reputations? What is Arabic like/how does it work with the 5 colleges?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<li><p>Not sure about figure skating, our W-hockey team is tops though (sorry)</p></li>
<li><p>Russian is phenomenal, one of the best programs in the country. German is good too, not sure about Arabic.</p></li>

<p>When DD attended, she wanted figure skates to skate with the club. Don’t know if it is still active. They used it when the hockey team was not on the ice.</p>
<p>did she have previous skating experience? when was this/why do you think the club might not be around any longer? thanks!</p>
<p>Midd has a brand new ice arena, club, and is number one in languages</p>
<p>Middlebury sounds wonderful, but I’m an early decision admit to Amherst so I’m mainly interested in figuring out what its strengths are. Does anyone know how the five college program works with languages? Are the romances stronger than arabic/chinese?</p>
<p>Well, I’m sure you’ll be very happy…</p>
<p>Skater, you could try calling the rink director and ask about anything figure skating-related that might be going on there. His contact info is at the bottom of this webpage:
