<p>Now that I think of it, Amherst would be a great option. He could take film studies classes for credit at the other Five Colleges without sacrificing the rigor of a top LAC education. (I have a friend at UMass who has taken and enjoyed film classes. They are by no means on the same intellectual level of the Little Three, though. I think one of his final papers was a three-page assignment. ) I’m sure he could even audit classes for fun if he wants to. Not sure whether “film studies” will go on his diploma, though. </p>
