Club Sports

Hey, my question is are club sports taken seriously at Amherst? Do they get a lot of the same resources as Varsity Athletes? I’ve heard a lot about the student/athlete divide at Amherst and how it’s easier for athletes to get into parties. Does that apply only to Varsity Athletes or club sport athletes as well? Thanks so much!

Define “taken seriously”? By whom?

Club sports at many schools are self funded or at least fund raising efforts are required. Do profs give time off from classes for travel? Yes, at many schools they do. Uniforms are usually left over from another team (or purchased by the team).
