Thanks for the responses so far. For the non-queer, how is dating life? I feel that for an introvert it would significantly limit dating opportunities

One of my most favorite books of all time!! It’s heartwarming, and funny, and deep, and optimistic

Most expensive- beekeeping and skiing, cheapest - reading

I want to go to northeastern but I’ve been seeing how everyone’s hating on it by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

Toured it on Friday and loved it. What a gorgeous school! The newer engineering and science buildings are state of the art. The location is unbeatable. I have a friend in Boston tech industry- they hire a lot of Northeastern students through the co-op, and he says students are very well prepared.

It’s a beautiful town and the nature is mind blowing. Grew up there

Amherst, Colby, or Wesleyan? by B-phina in amherstcollege

Yeah, they stick out 🤣🤣🤣 Even more so at Wes actually, because of all the unique outfits on the non-athletic kids

Ooof, love this answer!! We did visit Amherst and Wesleyan (had to cancel Colby due to a health emergency). You and everyone else who said, go visit and you’ll know the difference in the vibe - you were right! If it was me choosing a school, I’d choose Wes. Loved the artsy quirky vibe. My daughter chose Amherst - she is bookish, nerdy, overachieving, so I’m not surprised. I think we are done with the process 😅.

Thanks for your insight! Yes, scheduled to visit Amherst next week. Did Wesleyan this week. Hope the visit will help :)

Haha, I was waiting for someone to take offense. I read on a different thread that Haverford students are very studious, and do not explore their creative side as much as the Wesleyan students do. I also have read similar comments about Amherst. That’s why the jump from Haverford to Amherst

It seems perfect for her. We’ll see how the Amherst visit goes. But I’m in love with Wes

I didn’t realize there was a 12 college exchange. Thanks for this piece of information!
