Thank you, Amherst, for such a lovely campus. My daughter and I really enjoyed our stroll yesterday and we're grateful you had a few buildings open. The library is special and the Frost moose divine.

I just visited this college as an outsider, but it's a gorgeous school. There's enough parking and greenery to make it a fun space to walk around. I'm a huge fan of the buildings - they are all in the same brick aesthetic. Overall I had a positive experience and I think it's a safe place.

My walk around Amherst college was very nice. The grounds are kept up very well. There is staff working there right now. They do require that you wear face coverings and maintain the social distance of 6 feet.

Amherst college -- as the third oldest institution of higher education in the state of Massachusetts -- is one of the most beautiful college campuses I have stepped foot on. Whether you're in front of the Seeley Mudd Building housing the Department of Mathematics or the Beneski Earth Sciences Building, the red brick structures on campus project a beautiful image that reflects Amherst's prestigious reputation as one of the best liberal arts colleges in the country.

This is a beautiful college. Very safe small town.

One of the most respected academic institutions in the country, set on a beautiful campus. The fantastic faculty-to-student ratio, considerable flexibility for your coursework, and ability to work with professors (including research) directly as an undergraduate are all things that help this school stand out. If you are fortunate enough to be accepted, it would be a hard decision not to attend (as long as you are aware this is a small school, with a relatively small student population). We found the vibe to be rather low key, as opposed to some of the Ivy's we spent time at. The amount of money in endowment at this school (and some competing schools) also tends to indicate a lot of graduate loyalty.

It has been an amazing experience, so far. And my child loves it! All a parent can ask for! Last review was eight years ago. Now both of my sons have graduated from Amherst College and I can’t say enough about that school! They chose wisely majoring in disciplines they enjoyed but are using to pursue careers. They took classes at the other sister schools and were easily transported there by a shuttle bus. They made good Lifelong friends. Became involved in many student organizations and were elected to leadership positions. We lived in California, so there were holidays they didn’t come home. But they were able to spend Thanksgiving with some of the professors, many of the International students and their new East Coast friends. The career center and Amherst professors have assisted them both to initiate their careers, even after matriculating. The campus is lovely and welcoming. Amherst, the town, is a great college community that they share with UMass Amherst. There’s a fabulous farmers market on Saturday mornings that is well attended and has a variety of goods! I only wish I had another child to attend there!
