What are some stereotypes about Amherst College students?
the smart jock and the nerd (and they don't interact)
Are the stereotypes accurate?
No, these stereotypes are not correct. Yes, the people who play sports here are smart, but they do not fit the "jock" stereotype. People who do and do not play sports mingle here much more than is thought
Amherst College Academic Life
The professors are very accessible here, and relationships between professors and students are close. The campus even offers a program called TYPO (Take your professor out), where they give students money to take their professors out to dinner in town with a small group.
Amherst College's Student Body
Diversity is the most popular word here. Although there are also problems with the administration not adequately supporting the diverse student body, the school is working hard to change that, with the new Multicultural Resource Center opening this semester.
Amherst College Student Activities & Social Life
People are ALWAYS doing something here! Everyone is so involved in so many activities, that many times it's difficult to schedule free time to hang out with friends!
