Preppy College Preview

Not every college has a preppy reputation. The real bastions of prepdom are dotted throughout New England, and a dozen more in the Southeast.  Today I have photos taken during a trip over to Amherst College, founded 1821. Only a handful of students will make it in here, as Amherst is ranked (consistently) as one of the top Liberal arts colleges in the country, but we can all appreciate the aesthetics of a beautiful campus-- where tradition and heritage are preserved through architecture, and sometimes clothing!

Surcingle belts with the university crest.  I wouldn't recommend donning one if you are not a student, parent or alumnus though.

Not every college has their own ties from Vineyard Vines

Neoclassical architecture fits right in

When Robert Frost was on faculty at your English department, that's a good sign
