Why you chose Amherst: Since I was a little kid I had it in my head that I wanted to be somewhere out east and when the college search began, Amherst just seemed like the perfect fit. I loved the freedom and opprotunity the open curriculum allowed. Not to mention the fact that it was it a beautiful campus full of people that seemed really friendly and interesting and I immediately felt comfortable here.
