University of Massachusetts-Amherst Top Questions

I wish that I had someone to tell me more about college like a sibling. Counselors in high school can help u but not as much as a personal account. One big thing is finances because I had to do everything myself including the fafsa. I wish I would have known more about loans and work study amongst other financial information.

I wish I knew the scheduling system better. As of right now, if you don't race to a class you want to sign up for right away its almost always impossible to get into the class. It's a lot of pressure to make sure you can fit every class you need to take into your schedule and make sure it doesn't overlap with your other classes.

I wish I had known how to take tests better. I get very nervous taking Math tests. Then I found out about Psychology Disabilities Services and due to my struggle with Bipolar, Depression and Anxiety Disorders, I can get help taking Math tests! They, in turn, taught me about Tutors in the Learning Center. Everything is finally unfolding.

I wish I had known that the apartments, that I chose to live in nearby, were better at attending the students needs. We as students did recieve a small discount for being so, but we had constant water issues for the last entire year we reanted that place. It was very frustrating.

How big the campus was.

Basically nothing. This school is great, students are helpful and friendly and very sociable. There won't be anything you'll regret if you come to Umass Amherst. It has been qualified as one of the best higher academic institutions in the state.

I wish I would have known, that they did not have Business Adminstration as a major. I am not complaining though, I am glad I chose accounting as a major, becasue it is a good major, and there is a very large job opporunity market for accounting majors. Even at my school they do not have your major, they have where you can make up your own major, and choose the classes you want. That is really cool!

That through all the circumstances of my existence, it would lead me to the love of my life. And with it, so much more. That college really isn't as scary as everybody makes it seem. That you'll grow so much, and no matter what your parents are always there for you.

Don't have a girlfriend. And work hard and make money for school.

Financial aid is available to everyone based on level of family income contribution.
