I'm interested in Amherst College and want to know about its size. Specifically, how many undergraduates are there? I'm trying to get a feel for the campus environment and student body size.
Amherst College, as a small liberal arts college, tends to have a relatively small undergraduate population. The enrollment tends to hover around 1,800 students. But remember, the number can fluctuate slightly from year to year based on that year's accepted class size and graduation rate. In small setting institutions like this, students often laud the closeness of the community, the opportunities for personal interactions with faculty, and the rich discourse with diverse peers owing to small class sizes and a tight-knit student body.
