Amherst & Northampton Are Where It's at
Accessible via bus or your buddy's car are the towns of Amherst (10 minutes) or Northampton (15 minutes). Both are chock full of independently owned (read: not chain!) restaurants in every category you can imagine. I could eat at a new place everyday for a month and never get bored. Lots of local ingredients, healthy faire, good hearty italian, authentic asian specialities, vegan, anything you like! Big city scene, small city appeal.

If you are looking for strange folk like you, you've come the right place. Everyone at Hampshire was the odd one in their high school. When they arrive at Hampshire they either venture into the land of radical or mellow out a bit. All in all, it's an interesting scene. You will never be bored!

Who else can say that? Yeah, they have cinderblock walls, but you don't have to share them with anyone if you don't want to. That is pretty sweet!

Bus goes between the 5 colleges. Last time I checked it was free for students. Comes and goes regularly and stops at convenient locations. Not as easy as having a car, but a good backup if you can't afford one (parking on campus is free!).
