We love having visitors on campus! We encourage you to visit Amherst to see the campus for yourself and meet our students, 教职员和教授. There are several ways to visit us:
我们每个人 预定的访问 starts with a one-hour information session (presented by an admission dean) followed immediately by a one-hour campus tour (led by a student tour guide), a sequence that is designed to maximize the value of your time with us. All visits begin at the Office of 入学 at 220 South Pleasant Street, Amherst, MA. The Office of 入学 is open to visitors from 8:30am - 4:30pm on weekdays, 9:30am - 2:10pm on Saturdays, and 11:30am - 2:10pm on Sundays. We recommend arriving at least fifteen minutes before the start of your scheduled visit.
On some dates, only an information session or a tour may be offered, so be sure to check the 注册表 for the date you're planning to visit. For groups of 10 or larger, don't forget to fill out our 团体参观表格.
If you will be visiting our campus at a time when student-led tours are not offered, 你可登入我们的 互动校园地图,请留意我们的 在线虚拟游 or pick up our self-guided tour booklet and print campus map, available in the visitor information box outside the front door of the 入学 Office.
In addition to our campus visiting options, we also offer virtual tour sessions on select dates throughout the year. These sessions are hosted by student tour guides and offer the opportunity to learn more about Amherst through an interactive online experience. More information on dates and times can be found on the 注册页面.
Want to learn more about our approach to financial aid, including our commitment to meeting the full calculated need of every admitted student with a no-loan financial aid package? Then be sure to sign up for a virtual 金融援助 Information Session with one of our financial aid deans.
