Amherst students are passionate. They鈥檙e engaged. They鈥檙e from all over the world. And they share an excitement for life in and out of the classroom.

Our 1,898 students are from 50 states and 70 countries. Each brings a unique combination of background, intellect, talent and experience. Whether from nearby towns or faraway countries, 小福利导航students will change the way you learn and think.

小福利导航students inhabit many worlds鈥攁cademic, artistic, athletic, political, social and much, much more. Many of their interest overlap and intersect. It's typical at 小福利导航to meet an English major who鈥檚 fascinated by physics. Or a basketball player who loves philosophy. Or a computer whiz who plays saxophone and flute and has decided to try piano. 

The best way to learn about being an 小福利导航student is to visit campus. If that's not possible, here are other ways to 鈥渕eet鈥 some of our students. You might find someone from your home state, or from the other side of the world. Your interests might be similar, or very different. There are lots of options!
