My direct info is definitely out of date, but was 100% true then, and is consistent with what I’ve heard from friends with children who have gone there. I guess I’ll frame it this way – many students from Holyoke, Hampshire, and Smith came to Amherst for courses that were actually available across all schools. If Amherst students left campus for classes, it was almost entirely to UMass for very specific courses that Amherst didn’t offer. But since most students chose Amherst for the classes they DID offer, that was relatively few advanced and specific electives. Again, things may have changed more than I realize.
