Amherst College: Advice from an Alumna

Thu, 17 Jan 2008 00:15:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kbacal - I attended Amherst College so the good news is you're getting advice from someone who's been away for a while and therefore has had a chance to reflect on her experience. The bad news is that obviously things will have changed somewhat since I am not a...

Amherst College: My Amherst Visit

Thu, 18 Jul 2002 19:06:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mari_112 - Located in the small, but adequate town of Amherst, Mass. Amherst College has a lovely campus with acres of conservation land and the Holyoke Mountain Range nearby. It seemed to be kept startingly, impeccably clean. Amherst is a small, competitive...

Amherst College: Had to clarify...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author anon88 - I just had to comment on dan_cohen's review. Did he ever attend Amherst? If so, did he ever leave his room? Other reviewers have done a good job of explaining why it's a good school academically. I just want to refute Mr. Cohen's claims of the...

Amherst College: The best college you can get

Sat, 7 Apr 2001 18:45:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author butterlipurp - There are many great things about Amherst. You get the personal attention from professors that know you by name and great classes.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dan_cohen - I have now spent 2 years here and will try to be as objective as I can about this place. First off, I guess it's important to say that strictly as a place to be an academic, Amherst College is great. And the restaurants in the town of Amherst are great...

Sun, 13 Aug 2000 17:56:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rglurz - Amherst College's dining services is different from other colleges because there is just one dining hall. This is great because you can meet all your friends for dinner, but it also means that dining at Amherst lacks the cozy, intimate feel that dining...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rglurz - The best thing about Amherst College housing is that housing on campus is available to all students if they want it. Only a few students live off campus each year. You have to apply to live off campus.

The dorms are pretty nice, especially...

Amherst College: Psychology Department

Sat, 5 Aug 2000 22:56:13 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rglurz - I graduated as a psychology major from Amherst College in the spring of 1998. The psychology department did not have a lot of choices for classes. While they had all of the basic classes, they didn't have a good clinical class on children or many...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rglurz - I graduated from Amherst Colleg in the spring of 1998 and I can not think of a place I would have rather spent my four undergraduate years. Amherst College is an incredible place. You are surrounded by bright, interesting, accomplished fellow students...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jshefftz - I don't usually write reviews on anything but ski-related items, but I graduated from Amherst in 1989 and (despite their consequent cutting of the varsity ski racing team) I greatly enjoyed and benefited from my experience there.
