<p>How about it? Humanities major- likely English or History.</p>
<p>hard to turn down Stanford, but Amherst would be a candidate if you previous a more close knit LAC environment in a beautiful part of the Northeast:</p>

<p>Really not much to go on here. Can you give any more information about yourself and your interests apart from your prospective major?</p>
<p>It really depends on which part of the country you’d like to attend school in; the schools mentioned are exceptionally well-dispersed across the US. </p>
<p>I will be a freshman at Rice in the fall and as I have done quite a bit of research on the school throughout the admissions process, I have gathered that Rice not only has extremely strong engineering and science departments; the english and history departments are also very strong. </p>
<p>I don’t know very much about Stanford, JHU, or W&M, but I know that if you are interested in most things humanities-related, you are probably going to be satisfied with an Amherst education…an excellent LAC situated on a stunning campus. </p>
<p>This is a very general response. While you have mentioned some great schools, they have few things in common and we need more specific information to be truly helpful.</p>
<p>I am still seeking insight into the Open Curriculum of Amherst College vs Core Curriculum of say Stanford. They both tout a liberal education but it seems the Amherst College models allows for some students to bypass a true liberal education when they avoid touching on subjects they prefer not to take. So when Grad school beckons and they are missing key components for say a Masters in English because they chose not take the requisite foreign languages, then can we say an Open Curriculum served them well? It’s an expensive lesson. As a parent covering the majority of the cost I am skeptical and am not certain how to successfully get the student to evaluate these less glamorous considerations.</p>
