Co-curricular programs abound at AMC including 15 competitive sports teams. Five new teams have recently been added including lacrosse, tennis and football. The New England setting of Paxton, Massachusetts offers students the best of both worlds: a relaxed, closed-campus environment in which to live and study, and close proximity to Worcester, home to 10 other colleges and universities. AMC students can enjoy all that an AMC campus life has to offer and also partake in the excitement of the Worcester area, including rock concerts at the DCU Center and the Palladium, skiing at nearby Wachusett Mountain, art exhibits at the world-class Worcester Art Museum and great restaurants in Worcester’s growing downtown.
