| Amherst College |
Amherst College is a very selective, small Liberal Arts College with no core curriculum or distribution requirements except for the Freshman seminar. This makes it possible to do a double or even triple major. Students at Amherst can take advantage of classes in the five-college consortium that Amherst does not offer.
Students live on campus all four years. Freshman have their own housing. About half the students travel abroad. This Division III college is a school of student-athletes, with a majority of students in Division III, club or intramural sports. There are no fraternities or sororities.
While there is no merit-aid at Amherst College, need based aid packages are provided without loans. The college will pay students to work at an NGO or non-profit over the summer.
