<p>i like all 3 and i need help deciding</p>
<p>Amherst every day of the week(in most cases).</p>
<p>Amherst for sure.</p>
<p>The last two responses are strickly based on prestige. All three are very prestigous. Go to the one you feel the most comfortable at, or that makes the most sense financially. You will do well at any of them.</p>
<p>what do you like about each? make pros and cons.</p>
<p>big sports? uva
near urban? tufts
prefer smaller school? amherst.</p>
<p>simple things like that. IGNORE RANKINGS. do what feels right.</p>
<p>You need to provide more info about yourself if anyone is really going to be able to provide any useful advice to you. Where are you from? Course of study? Career goals? In state for UVA?</p>
<p>Calling Amherst the better choice for a smaller school is relative... Tufts and Amherst actually have the same faculty/student ratio (8:1).</p>
<p>I tthink Amherst is the bst from what i know..what do you want to study?</p>
<p>(and i hope you are not talking about UMASS-Amherst)</p>
<p>We can help you more if you tell us about yourself—what do you think you want to study? What kind of social life would you like? Location? Etc...</p>
<p>City life- Tufts
quaint village- Amherst
Huge greek and sports scene/much more southern attitude-UVirginia
Intellectual - Amherst/Tufts
one of 15000 students- UVirgina
LAC- Tufts/Amherst</p>
<p>Good luck. "one of these is not like the others"</p>
<p>Swish14 gav eyou a pretty good run-down</p>
<p>They are all so different. Hard to believe that a simple stroll around each school's campus (grounds) wouldn't clinch it for one of them.</p>
<p>Each of the three are very different yet each is fully capable of offering a world-class education. So this would seem to be a classic case of a situation where "fit" should be relied upon for the final decision.</p>
<p>Uva !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>If you want the complete experience (great college town, spirited campus, excellent academics etc...), go for UVa. If you prefer a quainter and more personalized and intense environment, go for Amherst.</p>
