I think they are the exception...I deliberately refrained from posting about the only four Brown students whom I know, because I don't think it would be fair to your student body at large.
Both are great schools. I considered Amherst back in the day. I thought Amherst would appeal to my son because of the open curriculum but he had no interest in the small student body or non city campus environment. His dislikes are probably the very reasons someone else would choose Amherst over Brown. So don't worry about prestige or academics (both are good, although Amherst has less classes/majors). Which environment appeals to you more? That's the one where you'll be more inclined to do well and lead to a great undergrad college experience.
