How to Get to Smith Smith College is located in Northampton, a lively town of 30,000 in the Connecticut River valley of western Massachusetts. By car: Northampton is on Route I-91. Take Exit 18, and follow Route 5 north into the center of town. Turn left onto Route 9. Go straight through three sets of traffic lights, turning left into Smith's main entrance (College Lane) shortly after the third set. The Office of Admission is on your right, overlooking Paradise Pond. (Campus maps are available there.) Parking is available next to the office or along Route 9. By bus: Peter Pan, Greyhound and Vermont Transit serve the area. Most routes go to the main bus terminal in Springfield, where you can catch another bus to Northampton. Buses run almost hourly between Springfield and Northampton. Smith is a 10-minute walk or a short taxi ride from the bus station. Call (413) 586-1030 for bus schedules. By train: Amtrak--(800) 872-7245--serves Springfield, Massachusetts, which is 20 miles south of Northampton. From the train station, you can reach Northampton by taxi, rental car or bus. The Springfield bus station is a short walk from the train station. By air: The closest airport is Bradley International.
