<p>Nadash, what have you heard about the lacrosse team? I would think the exact opposite about them at least from my experience. But Amherst is a great place overall because there is a little bit of everything here. You have an amazingly diverse student body, a new england small college feel when you want it, and proximity to other schools and less isolation of having a nice college town when you want it. As with most nescac’s, there is a nice balance between great sports and great academics, and many extra curriculars with clubs, etc. as there’s always something to find. nineteen121, you should take a visit to campus and see if you like the overall feel from what you get, I love it and I’m happy about my decision here.</p>
