Sounds reasonable. Can you post the link?</p>
<p>All are excellent. None is "better" than the others. If you are fortunate enough to have a choice, you should spend some time at each.</p>
<p>According to this</a> article from the Middlebury Campus newspaper, the alumni marriage rate at Middlebury is even higher, at 17%. The article also states:

...the average percentage of Middlebury alumni who marry other alumni stands at a strong 17 percent. According to Director of Alumni Affairs Kim Ehritt, "Middlebury's reputation for matchmaking is not mythical." Although it is less than the legendary two-thirds marrying rate, the 17 percent chance puts Middlebury higher than most other schools of its size. A study conducted in 1998 by Wesleyan University showed that Middlebury and Bates College tied for the highest number of married alumni, with Dartmouth University tailing at 10.8 percent, Wesleyan at 9 percent, Williams College at 6.8 percent and Bowdoin College at 4.75 percent.

The particularly high rates at Middlebury and Bates probably reflect the fact that both schools have been fully coed since the 19th Century. The other schools have only been coed since the 1970s, and probably did not have more or less equal numbers of men and women until even later. So the numbers at other schools will probably continue to rise over time, as they apparently have at Williams.</p>
<p>actually I was wondering... can someone enlighten me regarding status of financial aid in the 3 colleges? </p>
<p>The current issue is that I heard that they will discretely consider your financial status anyway if you're international, and that despite endowment of amherst, apparently students aren't that happy with the package...?</p>
