Don't mean to be shallow but

just a few questions pertaining to non-academic things:

how is the social scene at amherst? i’m not in party mode 24/7 mind you but i do want to get the whole “college” experience. i know Amherst is one of the top schools in the nation but i don’t think it would be enjoyable for me personally if everyone was cutthroat and competitive all the time. i think life is about balance, and a healthy balance between work and play definitely heightens the college experience.

how are the girls? it’s a fairly small student population, and i know the question is very subjective, but overall, on the basis of solely looks, how do the girls fare? i really don’t mean to be shallow or offensive in any way, but i am curious anywho.

how are the facilities? i have heard that the dorms are quite nice, but what about the rec centers and libraries and dining halls?

thanks a bunch!
