What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year at University of Massachusetts-Amherst?

Gaby

i wish i had known about certain professors. There are some who are wonderful at what they do, and others who would probably prefer to take a nap rather than teach a lecture on a boring subject.

Eric

I wish i had know more about the campus and sports before i had gone, it took me a full year to build a network and then another to figure out what i wanted to do their. I had to try a little of everything because they have no guide or help. Also that I will probably be in debt for the rest of my natural born life.

I wish I had known how much the campus life has changed compared to a timeframe of ten to fifteen years ago. I hear stories from friends of friends that used to go to UMass, and they described it as being much more of a lenient atmosphere on and around campus than it is today; the police presence in the dorms definitely takes away from the student experience. These students worked hard to get to this college, they should not be babysat by local authority. People someitmes need to make mistakes to figure things out for themselves.
