Why is Family Weekend in the spring instead of the fall?
Since the fall is a very busy time for families, students and the Amherst campus and there are already two major annual events that occur during the fall semester (Homecoming and Fall Open House) the Family Weekend Planning Committee thought a spring weekend would be a good alternative. The campus is beautiful in the spring and we'll have a great schedule of events for you to enjoy. We hope you will join us.
Can we make hotel reservations now?
Yes. There is a listing on the web site of local area accommodations. Due to the limited number of rooms in the Campus Center Hotel, they will be hosting a Call-In Reservation Day on Wednesday, November 7th. Beginning at 10:00 a.m., reservations will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis. Please call 413.549.600 ext. 0.
The rate for the Campus Center Hotel is $108 per night with a two night minimum. All rooms are smoke free.
When will the schedule of events be available on line?
It is the intention of the planning committee to have a schedule of events available on line by mid October.
