[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any insight about five college consortium ?[/quote]

I'm curious about this, too. How much of the consortium is lip service, and how much exchange actually happens in reality? How easy do they make it to take classes at other schools? Are the cross-enrollment options limited to certain courses, or can students take any classes they want?

My current HS junior wants to ensure the availability of some specific types of classes within their (non-STEM) major in order to suss out potential grad school paths, and ensure they have the right foundational classes for the field they ultimately pursue. Wondering whether they might be able to piece together the things they want to explore with classes at the other schools, with UMass as the cheaper base option (assuming they could get some merit).

The Amherst area is on our Spring Break road trip itinerary, but it would be useful to know in advance what portion of the Five Colleges sales pitch can be taken with a grain of salt. [/quote]

My understanding is they can take two courses per semester in the other colleges and they have bus services that goes between the five colleges.
In addition they can participate in sports, clubs and use different facilities.
But it will be interesting to find out more from recent college parents.[/quote]
