We hit the campus with an open mic to ask one simple question: Why did you choose Amherst College? From our open curriculum and the freedom to "choose what you want" to the tight-knit community and our 7:1 student-to-faculty ratio, our students (and even Professor Sarat!) share what makes this place special. Whether it’s the "writer’s college" reputation, the chance to work at the Beneski Museum, or just a love for the color purple—everyone has a story. #AmherstCollege #WhyAmherst #CollegeLife #LiberalArts #highered Video by Baokun Chen '29 and Logan Molloy '28
