Whether it’s a short study break or an evening outing, I believe it is important to make the most of the end…Continue Reading Warm Winter Moments
One thing I didn’t fully appreciate before coming to Amherst is how much the Five College Consortium actually affects your day-to-day life. Yes, it’s amazing for cross-registration and borrowing books, but the real perk is that it gives you access to things Amherst alone just can’t scale–like the UMass Fine Arts Center (FAC). Of course,…Continue Reading How the Five College System Upgraded My Arts Experience

One of my favorite ways to enjoy a sunny day at Amherst is hopping on a bike and hitting the Norwottuck Rail Trail with friends.
