Amid is more formal than among. Also, amid is used for place, while among can be used for place and abstract ideas of groups. "I saw her amid the crowd." "I saw her among the crowd." "Among the students, she is the most intelligent." But NOT "Amid the students, she is the most intelligent." Also, to me "amidst" sounds better than "amid." They are alternate versions of the same word but "amidst" has a more natural feeling to me.
