The student govt at Amherst organizes free shuttles to Bradley, Boston and NYC on breaks. Not sure about Smith - a good question for D to ask them directly.

Amtrak right there is pretty huge. Peter Pan is OK but no longer nonstop to NYC I think, maybe not even Boston? It was until about a year ago, on weekends.

Around Northampton they can walk or bike - it’s not that huge. PVTA works to move outside of town. Uber/Lyft available for late nights, and if a few share the ride, not a bad option for Bradley airport either.
