What's unique about your campus?

Rebecca

The best thing about University of Massachusetts-Amherst is the libarary. due to the many floors that the buiding contain it is very easy to find a quiet place to study and do your homework. Another thing that is great about the campus is there is always something to do on and off campus. There is never a time during the school year that there is nothing to do.

Pamela

I think the best part of my school is the fact that there are so many people on campus that it becomes very easy to meet people and make friends even if you aren't involved in the same area of study.

Cheryl

I love the career center. At some universities it's hard to get anyone to help you, here there are jobs posted on the walls. There's lists of people who have been recently placed and in what companies. There's a huge notebook for job hunting alone. There are job fairs every 3 months and companies are brought in to do interviews. Most importantly there is a more than competent staff who will work to make sure everyone gets a job.

Gabrielle

everyone is always smiling. the campus is beautiful, and it's huge, but not too big that you can't walk everywhere! I haven't needed to take a bus to class yet!

Caitlin

The best thing about UMass is the wide variety of majors and minors. Not many people enter knowing exactly what they want to do with their lives; thus, changing majors is incredibly common. It is nice to have the range of options that UMass Amherst offers.

Danielle

There are many various options for course studies and many highly educated and respected faculty members

Meredith

Going to the University of Massachsetts gives students a place to live life on their own without just being thrown out into the big world. The diversity is so big that we can live our own lives and experience the lives of people we have never thought about before. To be honest the university offers anything you want. We have sports, food, academics, clubs, games, greek live, and even a quidditch team. We are so open minded to everyone and love to bring more of everything to our campus to make it more enjoyable for the students everyday.

Also the School has a lot of great options for food and study areas i love it.

Michelle

The best thing about my school is the food at the dining commons. There is such a variety from a sushi bar, indian food, asian food, salad bar, vegetarian bar, pizza, and so much more! Aside from that, we also have Grab n' Go. Grab n' Go is a dining service that allows us to get food before or after classes when we are in a hire or on the go.
