an alum told me that if I don't choose Amherst, I'm probably not smart enough to go there. I thought that was a pretty good line. Thoughts?

To me, that's an obnoxious line and not something to be swayed by because it certainly isn't cut and dry. You're obviously smart enough to go there since you were accepted. From what I have seen from my friends out of Colgate and Amherst, Colgate was the more fun place to go. Amherst is definitely the more academically respected place, not that Colgate isn't respected enough to do the same things afterwards, though; especially since that is going to be determined more by the individual and luck than by the school. 750 a class/D-I sports/fraternities/rural is a fair amount different environment than 450 a class/D-III sports/no fraternites/suburban. Which do you like better? What are you looking to go into?
