<p>I can’t comment on the regional/racial breakdown of either Amherst or Williams, but I CAN say that because Amherst college is right next to U-Mass Amherst & Hampshire, the Amherst experience is certaintly a diverse one and you will be surrounded by real diversity – diversity of work ethic, intelligence, socioeconomic status, political persuasion, life values, etc., diversity that you would never find at a small & selective LAC alone</p>
