<p>I don’t know amfreborg’s history, but does it matter? Is this any different from any other “courtship” that ends, after which time you realize “wow, now that I know more about that person/company/candidate/house/school, I’m glad it didn’t work out”?</p>
<p>The fact is, Amherst has been known for a long time as the “party school” among the Five College Consortium (and that is saying something when one of the other schools is Hampshire). It has underground fraternities and a prevalent drinking culture. It also has had attention focused on the recent rapes, as it should. Does that mean it is a completely horrible place, or that everyone partakes in (or is a victim of) these activities? Of course not. But it is ludicrous to suggest that all colleges have these problems in equal measure. They don’t.</p>
