Sounds like Amherst is a great place to study. A few questions for you:
- Do students pick classes based on the reputation of the professors and, if so, how do you find out about the reputation as an entering freshman.
- I understand that Amherst chooses a faculty adviser for you based on what major you applied under. If you decide you want to major in something else before you start, is it easy to choose a different faculty adviser based on your new interest?
- Do freshman take classes in the 5 college consortium (outside of Amherst)?
Thanks!
