| Amherst has a reputation for fostering an athletic culture: 75 enrolled students each year are recruited athletes.
Just leveling the playing field.
Since Brown is still a prestigious Ivy League university--where professors might be more pressured to publish and research to retain tenure--that harbors graduate students and offers graduate programs, I would say professors at Amherst are certainly more accessible. I don't think anyone can say that professors at one institution are more interested in teaching and their students than those at another.
Good luck, and do check back here when current students will have offered their opinions. |
