Are you confusing UMass Amherst with Amherst College (generally considered an A-tier school)? I've never heard anyone say UMass Amherst is _significantly_ more prestigious than BU... they've always been fairly comparable other than BU having the urban Boston campus benefit.
- wly_cdgr 4y agoNope, I'm not. Amherst college is another tier or two above UMass Amherst, yeah I went to the best HS in the Northeast in the 90s and no one seriously considered BU, but UMass Amherst was a non-shameful safety. But I am out of the loop - things could have changed in 20+ years
