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 Colleges 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.

Two of the Five Colleges, Mount Holyoke and Smith, are members of the Seven Sisters.
