I don’t know Amherst at all. My son was at Tufts. A large number of students major in international relations, many with an econ focus. (IR and Econ are the most popular majors.) http://provost.tufts.edu/institutionalresearch/tuci/student-outcomes/top-undergraduate-majors/ Tufts students tend to be very engaged politically and interested in discussing policy. Davis Square a ten minute walk from campus is a hopping place, and you have everything that Boston has to offer as well. Class sizes with a few exceptions are small. My son had very few TAs. Study abroad is very popular and Tufts runs four of its own study abroad programs.
