University of Massachusetts-Lowell Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Elizabeth

That there aren't a lot of options for continuing education in terms of when the classes are offered. Would have liked for continuing ed to have not only night classes but also day classes. It is more expensive to take day classes because you are considered an undergraduate student and so have to pay all the additional fees, even if you are a non-degree student.

parking situation.

Thomas

I wished I had known how expensive a four year college really is. Despite the expense, the education received is priceless!

Steven

I wish I'd known that I was going to be screwed over financially every semester because the Chancellor is lining his pockets and not helping the students. The comitte raise the fees every semester, and even with student protests they don't listen to us.

Michael

Lauren

I wish I had known my room mate before I came to college, because she is such a great friend and I enjoy spending time with her.

Amy

Before I went to college I wish I knew that in order to be truly happy on campus I needed to stay there on weekends. I went home a lot during my freshman year and as a result I missed out on meeting as many people as I could have. I would also have been more involved during my freshman year in activities other than school related. This would have made my experience at UML more enjoyable. I wish I knew how much more prepared you had to be for classes as well.
