Hi, I first wanted to congratulate you on your acceptances! I recently committed to Vassar and thought I would chime in and give you some information I learned by talking to a few current students there. Every student I talked to emphasized that Vassar students are always open to trying new things, are very accepting, and are open-minded. You mentioned that you would like to explore a variety of things, so I thought this information might be relevant. They also all emphasized that Vassar’s alumni network is very strong and has been very helpful for them (although I am sure Amherst’s alumni network is also very strong). I would definitely recommend reaching out to current Vassar students (potentially in your intended major) to get a better sense of the environment, both academically and socially. The students I spoke to were all very kind and willing to help. It helped me a lot in making my decision. I hope this helps and good luck with your decision!
