<p>Greetings esteemed CC'ers.</p>
<p>Soooo, Dramacratic and myself want to drive up to Amherst together (cause we live like, right next to eachother -kidding!). We wanted to do it during Mid-Winter Recess - Second week of February.</p>
<p>For people that actually go to Amherst...when is the best time to visit? Why? And would you be available to give "insider" tours? :D</p>
<p>I know a Sophomore at the 'herst. The only problem is that he's on the Lax team so if DC & I only stay for like one day and not do an overnight, it would be hard for him to show me around because he'd have Lax Pre-Season practice. </p>
<p>Also - how are overnights arranged? I know that Amherst doesn't offer overnights but I remember reading something that says you can arrange it with actual students who are at the school. Can anyone confirm this?</p>
<p>Ohhh! And is it practical to take the Amtrak from NYC? I'm fairly certain that one would need to hail a cab from the station to go to the campus...so that's a good amount of money for just one visit. </p>
<p>Thanks!! Any other information regarding visits (what's a must to see, etc) will be greatly appreciated.</p>
