University of Massachusetts-Lowell Top Questions

There are many different types of groups on campus for people to get involved in and there's a place for everyone. The campus is so diverse I can't really see anyone feeling out of place. Everyone seems to find their own little place on campus where they fit in. The campus has its cliques. You don't really see different types of people hanging out with each other. The music students tend to stick with the music students and the engineering students tend to stick with the engineering students. Most of the time this happens simply due to similar interests. At class most students wear comfortable clothes. You see a lot of people in sweatpants and t-shirts. Some girls also wear dresses and some guys wear dress pants. For the most part though students wear the typical t-shirt and jeans ensemble. Most of the students at UMass Lowell are from Massachusetts or New Hampshire. There's a wide range of financial backgrounds that students come from. I hear about some students struggling to pay for college, while others are wealthy and have no problem with it.

The students at Umass Lowell are very diverse, however there are no cliques, the tables in the dining hall are just as likely to be filled with jocks as they are with nerds and you will often find them sitting together. In the universe of movies every college must have groups of jocks and nerds and artists, and they all hate each other. At Umass Lowell no one really cares. The closest thing you will find to a divide is between the people here for a degree and the people who are genuinely interested in their academics, but this is mainly due to scheduling conflicts. The truth is that it doesn't matter what your interests are because you will make friends with anyone and everyone.

Starting answering!I have a particularly special take on the students at UMass Lowell, as I recently won election for student trustee to represent the Lowell campus on the UMass Board of Trustees. During my campaign, I got to take a close up look at the many faces that comprise UML: black, white, Latino, Asian, straight, gay, rich, poor, and all the folks in between. I remain truly in awe of the diversity at my school: it is a more accurate reflection of what our country is than many other private universities, and I think of it as a great source of our strength as a college as well as a community. I’m hard pressed to think of any kind of student who would feel out of place at UML considering the student clubs and organizations on our campus that offer both a wide variety and vibrant student life.
