Hype for the Future 42/284: Locations of the Six Colleges

The Six Colleges, referring to flagship liberal arts colleges, are Amherst, Bowdoin, Carleton, Pomona, Swarthmore, and Williams. Only Massachusetts contains multiple locations, with Williams at the extreme northwest and Amherst somewhat to the east and southeast. Bowdoin is also located within the New England region; however, the college is located in Brunswick, Maine, midway up the East Coast within the State. Swarthmore is located similarly near the East Coast; however, the college is located in the Mid-Atlantic region, in a western suburban area associated with Philadelphia known as Swarthmore. Carleton and Pomona are outliers, where Carleton is located in Northfield, Minnesota, and Pomona in Claremont, California.

On the Horizon 24D: The City of North Adams, Massachusetts

(Almost) immediately south of the Vermont state line and Bennington County, immediately east of the Town of Williamstown, is the smallest city in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts: North Adams. While North Adams is a city of a mere twelve thousand people (approximately), the smallest city remains very important to the culture of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by way of the Berkshires. Though not much exists in terms of the quantity of amenities within such a small city, the state college for liberal arts is located within North Adams, and so is the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Arts also known as the Mass MoCA.
