Student Blogs
Every school year and summer vacation, current Amherst students volunteer to share their experiences and perspectives of Amherst by authoring their own blogs. This academic year we have a lively and diverse group of four bloggers -- from first-years to seniors, from biology to LJST (you'll have to read the blogs to find out what that is!) to "undecided," from hometowns across the U.S. and around the world. They are an active and talented bunch and their weekly blogs will give you an "up-close-and-personal" view of the Amherst experience from a variety of perspectives. You can click on their names below to learn more about each of them and to read about their experiences as Amherst students. Feel free to email any of the bloggers, if you have any questions about Amherst. You can also read summer and school year student blogs from previous years for even more varied perspectives of “Life at Amherst.” Enjoy!
