[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed that it's very remote. I went to Amherst and had some friends at Williams that I'd visit pretty regularly, but the place depressed me with its isolation.[/quote]

Fellow Amherst grad here and I got a similar feeling whenever I visited the Williams campus (and Bowdoin for that matter).  I was happy that I could so easily get away from Camp Amherst from time to time and visit HS and college friends at Smith, Mt Holyoke and UMass.  Good times![/quote]

Agreed. Plus, even if I was with Amherst friends or on my own, I could hop the bus to Northampton and quickly be in another town with plenty to do but where I wasn't running into my classmates every 5 feet. If there was another town like that near Williamstown, my friends didn't seem to know about it. Plus it was so much easier to get to Boston from Amherst if you really wanted to get out of dodge.

This is good to know as my kid picked Amherst over Williams because he thought there'd be more to do off-campus.[/quote]
