    Visited for 5 days to get my daughter settled in her dorm. What a beautiful campus! I have visited many colleges the past two years (Harvard, Brown, Florida State, West Florida etc) and none were as beautiful as Amherst College. My daughter's dorm room looks like a country club compared to some of the ones we saw (FSU's looked like jail cells). Brown Univ. were terrible & the bathrooms didn't work. At Amherst, she has a beautiful view of the mountains, clean showers, beds, carpet, even hard wood floor in the hallways. The food at Valentine was excellent and the best of all was the polite, wonderful students & parents that we met. Now I know why my daughter choose Amherst College (besides it being the top liberal arts college in the country). Go Jeffs! See more..

    I visited a friend in 2010. Loved the atmosphere of the school and its college town. I got a chance to sneaked in a math class and a landscape studies class since the classes were a bit on the bigger size (40+ I think?). The campus felt really nice. The 2 dining halls that I had a chance to dine at both had great food and offered a decent variety of options (though, according to my friend, the opinion I held could be because of this "grass is greener", "your school's dining halls have better food than my school's" syndrome haha). Really nice dorms (or at least the one where my friend was living). And the Smithies I interacted with were all super lovely, intellectual, and hip! Definitely the kind of folks I'd love to talk to and learn from! See more..
