The campus provides a wide variety of activities and classes for students to become involved in as well as a large student population that allows each and every student to find their own place in the university.

Outside of campus the school is famous for sustainability and pro-enviornmentalism. The school focuses on first protecting our world and then protecting our people. On campus however, the school is all about the food. Dining is a common topic of conversation and--with something for everyone--there is always debate about what locations are best.

Umass is probably best known for its great college town and the atmosphere on campus. Amherst, MA was voted to be the number one college town a few years ago. Amherst center is just a few minutes away, walking or taking the bus and is always a great time. It may seem like UMass is out in the middle of nowhere, but in reality there is so much to doo here. There are so many clubs and teams and places to go that there is always something fun going on for students.
