University of Massachusetts-Amherst Top Questions

NO!

In my opinion they're horribly inaccurate. As an engineering student, I spend more time in computer labs working on projects than I do partying. I'll usually go out about one night a week. I've never ever felt unsafe at UMass whether I lived on or off campus. I think that maybe the University was less strict about behavior in the past but I believe that that opinion was turned into a stereotype that we no longer embody. I have a lot of pride in UMass and I'm happy to have attended all four years of my college education here.

I think that in part there is a heavy acess of alcohol flowing within UMass and there is often valdalism and crazy acts being done by drunk students. However, as I said school is what you make of it, and ever school has a party scene, it's just that most are covered up better than UMass, being a public university.

These are not correct. There are many extremely smart students here who attended for financial reasons or because of the Commonwealth College Honors Program which is highly regarded. Also, not everyone who attends UMass Amherst is a partier or goes out to riot after sporting events - it's just that you only hear about the bad things.

Absolutely accurate. Ask anyone.
