Greyhound
Pros: The bus driver was so friendly and the ride itself so smooth. I also appreciated that the bus driver clearly let us know what stops we were making and how long we were staying. It actually felt more enjoyable because we could stop and stretch as needed. Probably my best Greyhound ride and I really do commend the bus driver for exceptional service and demeanor. It was just easy and that’s not always the case. Cons: N/A Tips: Bring a sweater because the bus can be cold, but other than that, it was a very comfortable ride.

Northampton is the home of one of the country's top-ranked women's liberal arts colleges, Smith College. Wander through Smith College Museum of Art to find works by Picasso, and be sure to take a bathroom break in the museum; even the washrooms are works of art!
