It is a very large state school so it was much less expensive than any private schools or schools outside of Massachusetts that I looked at.

My school offers specific training in the various social sciences versus a general degree. I have the opportunity to go into neurology or into clinical psychology, rather than leaving college with naught but a vague idea of what I wish to become in the future. This prepares me for graduate school so that i can become the most that I want to be in the future. Unlike other schools, UMass provides the best classes in the subjects available to all of the students.

Since there is not much around it the school campus is the center of attention.

I love the campus and the location of the school. In the fall, I can take walks to enjoy the beautiful colors, in the winter the snow is beautiful and in the spring everyone is outside just hanging out and playing sports. When you first come here, the size of the school could be overwhelming but once you settle in, the school just gets smaller and smaller and becomes a comfortable place.

The unique thing about this school is that it is much bigger than others that i had previously considered. The lecture halls are very big, and there are a lot of students in each class, however the seminars account for that in that the seminars only have about 20 to 30 students, and discussions are very common and accepted.

What is unique about my school is that all your essential needs are located on campus, such as food and convenient stores.

One unique aspect about Umass Amherst thatr is different than other schools that I considered is the large campus and student population. Some say that it is too big or too anonymous for them, but I love it. A student is able to make their cllege experience as anonymous or intimate as they want. professors are always accessable and you can easily stay in touch with whomever you want. There are five distinct residential areas and a section of on-campus appartments, each with their own specific benefits. Campus is a blast. There are so many diverse people around.

The most unique thing about this school is how diverse it is. It is easy for one to find a social circle/support system of friends.
