I
just want to quickly clear up a a misconception about
AC students. Many people that do not attend the university
believe that the school is mostly rich and white. In
fact, about half of students are on financial aid. None
of those students graduate with any loans at all. Over
half of students are minorities. I am an international student
and most schools don't offer financial aid to non-citizens. Amherst
does, so I am able to attend the school. It
has been my perception that there is a much smaller
proportion of low income students at schools without such generous
financial aid policies. I recently visited a large event at
a state school in CA and only saw a handful
of minority students.
On a side note: AC offers many
summer grants for research, volunteer work and travel. It is
easy to get these summer opportunities. This is nice because
all AC students (even us poor ones) can get good
experience in a time when it is very difficult to
land a paid internship. Otherwise, many students would have to
take standard “college jobs” which do not distinguish them. Students
graduate at an advantage to begin their job hunts and
continued schooling applications.
