Not that I think it's in the running but the 5 colleges are now a consortium and students can take a class - even at Holyoke or Smith - if they don't offer it at Amherst, although I imagine UMass is leveraged in this way the most.
I was impressed to know that Dickinson - the first woman undergrad at Amherst - and Robert Frost and Calvin Coolidge (Silent Cal's my Fave Prez of all time) are also alums.
There’s some revisionism there, I am sure. Emily D was a student at Mt. Holyoke Female Seminary. Amherst did not permit females back then. The 5-College Consortium was in place before my sophomore year, as I took Catullus at Amherst , Sept ‘69(and had to run from return bus to zoology class. Frost was in place when Mr. V3 was student, He agrees w. you on Silent Cal, fwiw.
