The New York Capital Region, Albany International Airport, and Albany‑Rensselaer Amtrak Train Station are just an hour away, and Boston and New York City are within a three‑hour drive. The college's vibrant 450‑acre campus is home to approximately 2,000 students who bring vibrancy to picturesque Williamstown.
