My S specifically avoided Brown because he thought he needed more structure. He did apply to Amherst thinking the more intense advising would help, but her preferred Williams.

He has enjoyed many of the classes he took to satisfy distribution requirement. I’m pretty sure that he wouldn’t have taken astronomy any other way.

I have no axe to grind; I can see merits of both. For myself, the two most important classes I took were to satisfy distribution requirements: Genetics. I had no idea of how much I would need this information in my Humanities career.
