Amherst College is ranked 2nd among top liberal arts colleges and occupies a spacious 1,000-acre campus in the Pioneer Valley of western Massachusetts. The academic and residential buildings stand atop a hill that offers sweeping views of the Holyoke Range and of the town of Amherst. The New England spirit is evident here.

Surrounded by quiet, safe neighborhoods, within a short walk to town, Amherst offers ivy-covered dorms within easy walking distance to classrooms. Each counselor group travels together from class to class, and meets with the entire SIG family at every meal at the award-winning Valentine Dining Hall.
