It depends on how you go.

If you want to take the bus from Logan or JFK, you can look up the cost at the peter pan bus lines website.

If you want to fly from JFK, check out American Airlines.com, they fly to Bradley, as do a few other carriers.

If you want to take the train from New York to Amherst, you can take a taxi from there to Smith, or you can also take a train from New York to Springfield, and then take a bus from Springfield to Smith or take a taxi.

For any of the New York options, besides flying, you’ll need to factor in the cost of taking a taxi from JFK to the train or bus station.

One good idea you maybe haven’t considered is asking Dean Tamzarian if he’s heard from any other international students in the same boat, and/or if he can put you in touch with them. There must be some other people flying into JFK or Logan, maybe for sightseeing reasons or something, and they might be driving to Smith, maybe you could hitch up with them and ride together by car.
