Amherst College

Very safe college town with lots of restaurants. Convenience store is present but prices are high. Must take a bus in order to get to the grocery store and mall. Not many attractions of interest in the immediate area but thankfully there are plenty of options on campus.

Workload is heavy because of all the lab rewuirements, but I would have taken the anyway for premed so it was ok. I liked being able to take courses in several different departments, and that also gave me lots of options in terms of electives.
