Don't mean to be shallow but

avant-garde, during my short tour at Amherst I was curious about the same things as you (I’m definitely not shallow, but honestly, appearance might not tell the whole story, but in most cases a part of it) and tried to get some good answers (although I don’t believe I did).

The people:
I’m a girl so I was primarily checking out guys (always fun), and to be honest, they were not exactly the hunks I had dreamt about, haha. However there were a few hotties, a couple in the midrange and many (like 75%) that were ‘not my type’. The girls, well, I actually didn’t see anyone really pretty, but I’m sure there are a couple.
However, I’m Swedish and - this will sound very wrong and I don’t mean to offend anyone - apparently we, or Scandinavians over all, have a reputation to look good. I don’t konw if I find it true, but what I’m trying to say by that is that I don’t have the ‘american point of view’ and what I (or anyone else) might find hot, is not what you might.

The facilitys:
They are or have renovated almost all dorms, so they where amazing. The library - to dark and really boring, did not like it. Dining hall - very few options compared to the other schools I looked at… And I don’t believe the food is superb either…
