So, I’ve narrowed it down to Amherst and Vassar. I’ve visited both, and loved them. I know that Amherst is more prestigious, but it’s college, and social life is very important as well for me, especially when the two colleges are both great academically.

So I was wondering about gay life at Amherst. I know that Vassar is extremely gay-friendly even among liberal arts colleges, and I wanted to ask whether the same can be said for Amherst. Also, it seemed as if every other guy at Vassar was gay. Is there a large gay population at Amherst? It’s a tiny school, and I’m wondering about slim pickings, if you would forgive me the term.
