Amherst is much more lively than you’d expect from it. This is primarily because of UMass, which is just on the other end of downtown (although if you go the wrong way, you’ll end up on a semi-back road, where you probably will get jumped). There are a lot of places in Amherst and Northampton that cater to college students (although mostly through delivery), mostly UMass. You won’t need a car all that much, as there’s a pretty robust bus transportation system (run by UMass).

Honestly, though, you probably won’t find yourself leaving campus all that much. When I do, it’s mostly to head down to UMass.

UMass: We dominate you.
