Which college should I pick between Dartmouth and Amherst (Not Umass Amherst) if I want to study AI?

Here are the rules to cross register, I am slightly concerned by what Amherst College means by “liberal arts courses”, does that mean engineering classes cannot count for the Amherst College degree @privatebanker? Thanks for your help, I want to understand the consortium better ! The good news is two classes per semester can be cross registration classes, which seems to be a generous number.

Also what about priority in crowded computer science classes at U Mass, is that a problem at U Mass right now? Can OP can get into CS classes at U Mass easily , as a cross registered student?.

Dartmouth might be simpler overall to get more AI classes, not certain, I would call Amherst College, and go over the plan, for AI classes, to not have any surprises later. Amherst and U Mass seem to be walkable, thanks for that info.
