The program I am in was ranked 25th in the country by U.S. News, and I am a member of the Honors College, which means I am in the top part of this great program (Computer Science). I also am majoring in Mathematics as well, which by itself is an extremely hard major.

The campus is huge so you always meet/see different people. It's bi enoug htaht if you wanted to be alone, it's easytofind a spot but you can also be around many people if you wanted. The food selection is huge and the food tastes amazing!
Joseph
The distinguished faculty in the Linguistics Department as well as in other departments across the school. The school is large enough to have many world-class programs and faculty to who are often leaders in their fields.

I always praise UMass Amherst's connection to its students despite its size. In my continuing education program specifically I am continuously impressed with the attention paid to students' individual needs, from helping students choose courses to clarifying administrative concerns. My interactions with UMass staff has always been pleasant and helpful, and I feel I am treated as an actual human being rather than a faceless gear in a giant machine.

The food in our school is SO good!

What I brag to my friends about the most to my friends isnt just one specific thing, it's more like a combonation of multiple aspects of the university. There are so many new and exciting things going on at the university that choosing just one wouldn't do the school justice.
Meghan
The fact that my school has an academic program for everyone; there was someone in the past that majored in cheese!
Dimitrios
That we have some of the best research facilities in the country, maybe the world.

When I tell my friends about the University of Massachusetts Amherst, I brag about how easy it is to balance one's education with a social life. The University of Massachusetts Amherst offers abundant resources for the students including tutoring programs to get one on one help in any needed subject. I brag about the school spirit a lot too; the UMass Minutemen athletic competitions are always full of excitement.
Bethany
The extra curricular activities available. There are clubs for everyone here. I'm a co-ed service fraternity, dance team, and bible study. I also brag about the school spirit.
Jessica
Anyone can find their place at UMass. It's big, but that means there is something for everyone. Also, Amherst is the best college town, with so many great restarants, bars, cultural events, and a beautiful surrounding countryside.
Taylor
When I tell friends about my university, I brag the most about our campus's great dining halls--tons of variety, musical guest appearances from band members, and free lobster and steak on Halloween!
Patrick
I brag most about the sheer amount of unpredictable events that happen throughout the year. With the sheer size of the school anything can happen and more often then not spontaneous festivities happen that lead to an unexpected good time. There is an incredible amount of good food and fun things to do on and off campus making it a great university to attend or even visit.
Julia
The award winning dining hall food! There are so many options in dining from the 4 dinning commons and the other cafeterias and eateries.
Rachel
How great my major is and how much I love it, also just the overal feel of the campus, it feels like home to me.
Jessica
The people, students and teachers, are great! There's always something going on and it's hard work but also a lot of fun. It was the best 4 years of my life!
Danielle
That it's easy to meet new people and have fun and get involved with various groups on campus and off.
Meredith
We have the best food around. It is so hard to decide what to eat because everything looks so good and tastes so good. We have every option possible and every meal is a treat.
Matthew
The Recreation Center, the Football team, the Library, and the dinning halls
