FIVE COLLEGE EXCHANGE Every Hampshire student]s education is enriched by Hampshire's membership in the Five College consortium. According to the Five College cooperative agreement, any student at Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke] Smith, or the University of Massachusetts may take courses and use the facilities at all five institutions. A convenient free bus system links the five campuses; Hampshire students may easily register for Five College courses through Hampshire's Central Records office. Hampshire students are not encouraged to take courses at the other colleges during their first semester. After that, they may take up to two courses each semester at any of the other campuses. Five College cooperative programs have been developed in several disciplines, including dance, astronomy, and East Asian studies.
