former head of Walt Disney

In fact in one of Michael Eisner’s most famous films, Dead Poets Society, the lead played by Robin Williams was based on a professor he had at Denison, Dom Consolo, who passed away last year.

I believe some of the schools only allow you take classes at other campuses if your own school does not offer it (Amherst, I believe, does that, though someone can correct me).

It’s more open than that at Amherst for sure. Most of the colleges only allow 2 courses per semester elsewhere (or at any one institution), and only liberal arts, as defined by the home college, for credit. Each school has its own rules linked here: https://www.fivecolleges.edu/academics/courses/cross_registration

There are some 5 college majors and certificates: https://www.fivecolleges.edu/academics/graduate_and_post-baccalaureate_programs

Bottom line – you can’t go wrong with either choice. You will have a fabulous experience at either school, so try to focus on the key differences, and figure out what matters most to you.

Agree 100%. Both wonderful schools.
