Computers at Amherst College

B

Pretty Crowded, Poor Printing System

Wireless can be spotty in the dorm rooms, and gets very slow at high-use times, but otherwise very reliable. Definitely need a personal computer, because we only have a few computer labs that are almost always full at rush hours during the day. The printers can often crash, but they are implementing a new printing system. Not many colored printers or scanners.

Off-Campus Housing at Amherst College

B+

Not Many

Most students choose to live on campus. The few who don't live in frat or sorority houses in pretty nice and affordable houses that are close to campus.

Parking at Amherst College

A-

Average Parking

there are enough spots for cars, although you may not always get the lots closest to campus, but the farthest you may have to walk is less than 10 minutes, from one end of campus to the other. the security officers are very strict about tickets - you can't park on campus on week nights past 2am. you don't really need a car on campus, but it is more convenient to go shopping at the local mall or take classes at neighboring colleges if you have one
