University of Massachusetts-Amherst Top Questions

The teachers seem like they care about the students.

Anything you'd ever want to do is here. All sorts of majors, clubs, sports team, and other extracuriculars. The social scene is just as diverse, with no shortage of parties, or places to go. There's tons of room to experience new things and try things out.

The variety of classes.

Diversity and size.

There's absolutely something here for everyone.

The best thing about Umass has to be its diversity. They accept so many different people with so many different things to offer. Also because of the diversity everyone is so accepting of other people around them. nobody makes fun of you, they accept you for who you are and learn about the differences and respect them.

The encouraging and friendly atmosphere. People want to get to know you and the professors and other students want to help you learn.

The best thing about UMass is its size. At first I was weary of the large student population as well as the physically expansive campus. However, after being here for two years, the I realized that the large size of UMass actually serves as a benefit. Because it is such a big school, UMass offers up almost anything a student could think of, with all types of majors, all types of people, sports, and events, one can truly meet the world at UMass.

At UMass you'll meet lifelong best friends, but you have to make the effort. It's a huge school, and very easy to hole yourself up in your dorm if you're not a social butterfly. If you're someone like I just mentioned, I'd highly recommend joining a RAP or TAP housing dorm your first year, as you'll automatically be placed in small classes in your dorm with people from your floor, making instant aquaintences. On-campus life varies by residential area.

I like the size. I like the people. I cannot become tired with the people I meet because there the community is diverse.
