Yeah, I’m pretty sure majoring at another school is a lot more rare in the Five Colleges than it is in the Tri-Co. Taking a class at another Five Colleges member is no big deal, but completing a major there would probably be a big headache. Amherst and UMass are pretty close, though.

I met a few people at Vassar, which has virtually no requirements, that were pursuing independent majors in linguistics or similar subjects (one person called her major “language acquisition”).
