Best of University of Massachusetts - Amherst

Berkshire Is the Best

Berkshire is the best dining hall, with many options and also the best design

Hampshire is the other Southwest dining hall, has good omlettes and burritos and is less crowded than Berkshire

Franklin is probably the most popular dining hall for O-Hill and Central Students, it has a homey atmosphere but limited dining choices

Worcester is near Northeast, and is my least favorite DC because of the food choices/cafeteria atmosphere

Amherst Center Has a Lot to Offer

There are a lot of vegetarian options throughout the whole town which is great if you're into that sort of thing. Most places are pretty expensive thought unless you have a special dining plan to eat at certain places off campus. Antonio's pizza is very cheap at night though, about a $1 a slice.

Lots of Bus Routes

There are lots of bus routes! It's very useful for around campus, downtown, and Route 9. Unfortunately, they are a hassle on the weekends when everyone is trying to get to parties! It's not fun being sandwiched between two really drunk people. Good thing they have cops on the buses for these times though. It makes you feel more safe!
