My D2s BFF goes to WashU too. She visited last year and went to class with BFF. She said the class was very impersonal, big and the professor was boring. It was a Chem class and she was taking the comparative one at Amherst at the time. She really liked the campus though. But she said that she made the right decision for her and her BFF made the right decision for her. She thought the vibe on the campus was very different from Amherst. WashU was more research oriented and “big” university feeling.

It’s too bad you can’t visit both and make your decision in person. I think it’s one of those decisions that has to “feel” right. Both are amazing, excellent schools. I don’t think there is a wrong decision.
