I spent the afternoon in my soon-to-be college town today with my wonderful boyfriend, to get a feel for the town before my upcoming move-in date, and I couldn't be more in love with it! This is not the first, or tenth, time I've visited Amherst (I was actually born there), but ever since my first open house tour of UMass the fall of my senior year, Amherst has shown me why so many people come to love it.
