Have you noticed nobody is responding on the Amherst thread? It’s not because we are A holes, it’s because these are silly questions that can be found either on the website or on CC using the search function.





Actually, the Amherst thread was quite enlightening: the lone response, as I recall, was somethig along the lines of, “there’s nothing bad about Amherst”. My favorite one was from Middlebury:

Cold, gorgeous, rigorous, remote, trees, granite, ivy, intimate, environmental, snow, skiing, golf, marble, cheddar cheese, biomass, paths, mountains, avocados, cupolas.

Honestly, you let Middlebury beat you in the charm department? Middlebury?

Psychologically, I think I understand why it is so hard to answer an open-ended question. First of all, it does require a little more work than cutting and pasting the URL to a two year-old thread. And, second of all, it’s really uncomfortable standing up and risking the possibility that you will be mistaken as a spokesperson for the school. I completely get that. The fact remains, however, that for the same bandwith it has taken to rake the OP across the coals for being lazy (an accusation belied by the fact that he’s managed to discover the names of five LACs), at least ten of you (at last count) could have answered the question.
