<p>I’ll be in Amherst for 3 days for the open house. Where else should my friend and I go?</p>
<p>3 days, that’s a long time.</p>
<p>Well, one day will be the open house. You should spend some time in Amherst center checking it out, there are a lot of nice restaurants and stores.</p>
<p>You’ll probably want to go into Northampton and spend some time there. It’s a bit more of a city than Amherst is.</p>
<p>If you think you want to take classes at other colleges through the 5 college consortium, you could go walk the campuses.</p>
<p>There’s some museums in the area, (Emily Dickinson Museum, Calvin Coolidge Presidential Library, all the colleges seem to have art museums etc) you can google those or look here: [Museums10</a> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museums10]Museums10”>Museums10 - Wikipedia) , I’ve never been to any of them so I can’t say one way or the other how interesting that would be.</p>
<p>Are you from OOS? Boston is less than two hours away, if you’ve never been there it might be worth a visit.</p>
<p>There are various state parks and conservation areas around, but I don’t know if any are so exciting they are worth making a special trip for.</p>
