I am visiting Amherst relatively soon and have some questions for either current students or any others who might know.

I intend to visit several classes. Are there any professors or classes that are especially good and worth sitting in on?

Is there anything that the tour might not include that is worth checking out?

Thanks!

I hope to observe classes from different departments (biology, neuroscience, philosophy, history) in order to get a general view of the academics.
