Train

Amtrak serves the Albany/Rensselaer, NY station, about an hour from campus by car. Call 800-872-7245 or visit www.amtrak.com for more information. Rental cars are not available on site.

Another option: you can get off the train in Pittsfield (a lot easier to be picked up) but you can’t buy tickets there. You can get them online at the www.amtrak.com website; and you have to buy a return ticket in the same way. The fare is $16 one-way from Boston, which is significantly cheaper than the fare to Albany/Rensselaer.

Plane

The nearest major airport is Albany (NY) International, about an hour from Williamstown. Bradley International Airport in Hartford, CT, is about two and one-half hours away. Information about transportation to and from the airports can be found on their websites. Arrangements for rental cars should be made in advance.
