Hi, I'm JB J

I am an Amherst College student! I play basketball, do art, and weight lifting! Hi! I’m a member of the Amherst College Class of 2027, majoring in Architectural Studies. I chose Amherst for its strong academics, creative freedom, and tight-knit community, and I love helping prospective students see what daily life here is really like. As an Architectural Studies major, I can talk about design studios, interdisciplinary learning, and how art, history, and theory come together at Amherst. I’m also very involved in art, and I spend a lot of my free time playing basketball and weight lifting, so I’m happy to share what the athletic and fitness culture is like on campus. On tours, I focus on what students and families actually want to know — housing, dining, classes, social life, workload balance, and how Amherst supports both academic and personal growth. Whether you’re interested in the arts, athletics, or just want an honest student perspective, I’d love to show you around and answer your questions!
