I’m having a lot of difficulty deciding between the three. Any advice?

I am going to be a History major, dislike math and science (will try to avoid in college), and plan on attending law school post college. Which school best suits me academically?

I would like to be around kids who value education but also know how to have a good time. I definately do not want to be around stressed out kids who study 24/7 or talk about school all the time. I also would like to be around peers who are not competitive with each other.

Which student body is the most friendliest, laid-back, and fun? I have heard that Amherst kids have the stereotype of being pretentious. Is this true?

Which of the three have the best food and best (and spacious) dorms? Do any of the three offer singles for first-years? Prettiest campus? Best dating scene? Most distinguished faculty? Most academically rigorous?

If you can answer any of my questions for any of the schools, it would be helpful. Meanwhile I’m trying to do my own research but its hard to measure the intangibles.

Thanks!
