Great Off-Campus Housing (Depends on Location)
Amherst is a very easy place to find pretty inexpensive housing. There is not much housing available close to campus, however, there is some great housing within 10-15 minutes of the campus. If you are looking for a quiet, woodsy environment, then the neighboring towns of Shutesbury, Leverett and Pelham having gorgeous and inexpensive houses/apartments. If you want more convenient housing, the center of Noho and Amherst have pretty nice, standard apartments. Everywhere is very safe, but there have been a lot of break-ins lately. Remember to lock your doors!

Everyone Is Different...
I find everyone to be very passionate about what they are involved in or just at Hampshire for the party scene. The guys are very scruffy (not in a bad way) and down-to-earth for the most part. They can also be very into their looks if they fit into the hipster category (i.e. hilarious shoes and glasses, tight pants). The girls have similar styles, just in a feminine way. Social life is mostly centered on-campus.

It Depends
I like that many scholarships are available for academic success. That definitely helps the large bill that goes along with a Hampshire degree.
