See For Yourself:
Visiting UMass Amherst
Poking around our website is a great way to sample UMass Amherst, but for the big picture, plan a campus visit. Pick one of our fabulous four seasons for your trip—each one has amazing things to offer and paints the campus in different hues.
Come here and stand in the middle of campus and look at the swans on the pond and the mountains in the distance. Check out the view from the top of the library. Get lunch in downtown Amherst. Talk to the students, faculty, and staff who already know UMass Amherst intimately and can answer your questions. See what a great life you’re considering.
When you pay a visit to the UMass Amherst Campus, there are a variety of ways to get to know us.
