Five Colleges

The Five Colleges is a consortium of colleges in the Connecticut River valley of Western Massachusetts:

• Amherst College (Amherst, Massachusetts)
• Hampshire College (Amherst, Massachusetts)
• Mount Holyoke College (South Hadley, Massachusetts)
• Smith College (Northampton, Massachusetts)
• University of Massachusetts Amherst (Amherst, Massachusetts)

The Five are geographically close to one another, and a free bus shuttles between the campuses. A student at one of these schools may take classes at any of the others, and there are student groups and organizations which draw (at least potentially) from all five.
