About University of Massachusetts Amherst
UMass Amherst, located in Amherst, Massachusetts, sits on nearly 1,450-acres in the scenic Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts, 90 miles from Boston and 175 miles from New York City. The campus provides a rich cultural environment in a rural setting close to major urban centers.About Amherst
A quintessential college town, Amherst is home to the prestigious Amherst College, a pretty 'junior ivy' that borders the town green, as well as the hulking University of Massachusetts and the cozy liberal-arts Hampshire College. The town green, where you'll want to start your explorations, is at the intersection of MA 116 and MA 9. Around the green you'll find a few busy streets containing several leftist shops and restaurants, as well as people in tweed reading books on the lawn. The town centers of Amherst and Northampton are separated by only a few miles, making the sights and amenities in one convenient to the other.
