Funny thread!

There’s no doubt Amherst and Williams are the Harvard and Yale of the NESCAC.

Nationally they’re the biggest names, most prestigious and most difficult to get into.

They’re also rivals in sports and otherwise (that leaves Princeton out of the mix).

Between the 2 I’d put Amherst with Harvard and Williams with Yale.

Amherst is a better location than Williams, in a city with several other significant colleges and universities.

The first year entry system at Williams bears some similarity to Yale’s residential college system.
