I consider the diversity and wide range of classes, majors, activities, and people to be the best thing about my school.

I would consider the best thing is how the faculty teaching is supportive, and you can always get help. The library is open 24 hours if you ever want to study. Also, the scenery in the spring and fall are beautiful with the mountains and farmland surrounding the campus.

Attending such a large University provides me with many opportunities. There are a lot of different majors and classes to choose from or take.

Umass Amherst is like a city; you can find practically anything there. As a resident of the town of Amherst, I love the contrast of going to school and being in such a metropolis and then heading home at the end of the day to my quiet little farmhouse next to a creek. I get to live in the country but have the opportunities and variety of a city.

The best thing about UMass is that there are plenty of athletic, theatrical, and musical events to attend.

Umass has very well developed student run organizations. The galleries, clubs, and restaurants that have been formed by the students create a fun and interesting environment on campus and also give the student body a sense of community. The support that students get from faculty and staff has also been one of the best things about Umass. In my experience professors have always been excited and eager to teach students who express a strong desire to learn. There is a very active and hands on approach to education at this school.

At the University of Massachusetts Amherst I consider the professors to be the best quality of my university. I have yet to meet a professor at my university that isn't willing to help adapt their teaching style to my learning style, is unfriendly towards me or any student, and isn't always trying to convey their information to students so that they may understand the subject. My professors are always willing to help students in and out of class. Although a professor may be the professional in class they are always willing to come down to the students level.
