Previous  |  Next

The Five College area is lively with a capital "L"
Along with being home to five nationally ranked schools, including MHC—and the 30,000 students who attend them—the historic Pioneer Valley is known for its unique blend of the funky and the fine arts. Affectionately known as the "Happy Valley," the region also is one of the nation's most scenic. There are plenty of hills to hike, trails to ride, and rivers to raft. Here's just some of what's a free bus ride away:


  • John Mayer in concert at UMass
    450+
