<p>I'm about to schedule and overnight visit sometime in late september early october and I'd like to know how I can get from NY to campus. Since it's during the week my parents can't drive me so public transportation it is. Is there a train station in NoHo or are there Greyhounds that go up there? What's best?</p>
<p>You can take the train in to Springfield and then walk over to the Peter Pan station, which has a bus to downtown Noho.</p>
<p>You can also take a bus from NYC, but you will most likely be stopping in Springfield... this is probably a cheaper way though.</p>
<p>You can also take the train into Amherst, and then find the PVTA and take it directly to Smith.</p>
<p>I would take the Peter Pan bus to Noho, it's very easy to change in Springfield, and sometimes there are direct five-college express buses from NYC or Boston. </p>
<p>The Amherst train, from what I understand, is not near enough to the PVTA bus that you want to lug your stuff out there. </p>
<p>Another option is to take the train from NYC to boston and then the bus to Northampton, but that may be more steps than it's worth.</p>
<p>wouldn't going to boston be really out of the way? i would just take the springfield one i guess. Thanks!</p>
<p>Forget taking the PVTA from Amherst - - spring for a cab (but avoid Valley Transporter which charges taxi fares w/o accommodating indiv schedules).</p>
