Thank you for all the wonderful info everyone. I just decided to commit to Amherst 2025!!! Both are amazing schools, it was just time to decide.
I think you made the right choice
Congrats, Prrforming Dude. I expect that you’ll have a great 4 years there. I was so impressed with it when I toured with my granddaughter. Right off the bat, you jump into freshman seminar which alone seemed worth the price is admission. I actually attended a lecture with an Amherst prof a few years ago, and he was as witty and entertaining as he was smart and knowledgeable.
The icing on the cake is that the Amherst/Northampton area is the 2nd largest booking venue in New England - 2nd only to Boston. With your interest in performing arts, there will be plenty to keep your interest. There’s theater and tons of live music in performance venues large and small - at least there was in a pre-Covid world & I expect there will be again. Enjoy!
Thank you!! The academics there seem absolutely amazing, and I’m really excited about the performing opportunities!
@PerformingDude I told you so! #tusksup! Seriously though, congratulations on joining the herd!
Thank you!! Hope to see you at the games!!
