HELP! I am applying ED and I need to figure out which one to apply to. The main thing I am concerned is social scene. I don’t want to go to a school where lax bros run the world and everyone else feels uncomfortable. This is what I think so far:

Tufts
-Great location (right outside of Boston)
-Good size for if I get bored of a friend group or want to meet new people
-A lot of people have been telling me that greek life is big especially for freshman (which is weird because it was almost banned)
-sexual assault seems to be more of a problem here
-I have heard that people are really privileged at Tufts which I don’t like

Amherst
-smaller school (not sure if I like)
-Quaint location, a good college town
-5 college thing which is really cool
-not as many options for majors (I might be interested in International Relations)
-I’ve heard that because Amherst is so small, the athletes are really divided from everyone else
-I’m not sure if because it is small it will have a social hierarchy

PLEASE HELP
