Amherst Commons is owned and stewarded by members of the Amherst College community and remains independent from the College. It is also free from the algorithmic and surveilling forces of corporate tech.

Amherst Commons is freeform, fluid, and designed to be shaped and bettered by its participants.

Amherst Commons is many things. It is kind of like Facebook groups, Craigslist, email chains, Twitter, or blogs, but just for members of the Amherst College community, and all in one place.
