University of Massachusetts-Amherst Top Questions

Without a doubt the opportunities it has provided me with and in addition the lifelong friendships I have made.

The variety of experience available is unparalleled. Also, its location in beautiful Amherst is alluring.

The large amount of major options is what i consider to be the best thing. It allows the school to offer a wide variety of classes and allow students to explore and figure out what they enjoy and want to do for a career.

I consider the best thing about this school to be the marching band. As a member, I was able to take a twenty-thousand plus-person university and shrink the number of people with whom I interact to just shy of four hundred. The band, aside from being an excellent musical ensemble, is also a giant family that is always there for everyone in it.

The school spirit is amazing. The community is so open to new ideas and all culutres. Amhert is a great town to be in with all sorts of people. The campus (after construction) is beautiful. Classes stimulate different thinking and we have some very qualified professors.

UMass is full of opportunities to get involved and meet people. This school is so diverse and accepting and caters to the interests of all students. I love the friendly environment here and how accepting everyone is.

I think the diversity and access to LGBTQ friendly resources are outstanding!

One of the greatest things about UMass for me was entering a school with such a large student population after going to high school in a small town with so few people. It helped me learn more about myself and other people, and how to be culturally sensitive and social in ways I had never been able to do before.

The people I met and the people who go there are the best thing about my school. Everyone is so helpful and so nice. They just made transition so easy and any questions I had or any worry there was always someone there willing and able to help.

I believe that the wide variety of majors and concentrations is the best feature of the school. Undecided students have many different subjects to explore, and the variety of majors attracts many different kinds of students to the university. I pursued a dual degree in animal science and journalism, something that I may not have been able to do at a small liberal arts school. Because UMass is a research university, there are a lot of opportunities for students to work hands-on with professors and get valuable experience.

The best thing about University of Massachusetts-Amherst is the libarary. due to the many floors that the buiding contain it is very easy to find a quiet place to study and do your homework. Another thing that is great about the campus is there is always something to do on and off campus. There is never a time during the school year that there is nothing to do.

I think the best part of my school is the fact that there are so many people on campus that it becomes very easy to meet people and make friends even if you aren't involved in the same area of study.

I love the career center. At some universities it's hard to get anyone to help you, here there are jobs posted on the walls. There's lists of people who have been recently placed and in what companies. There's a huge notebook for job hunting alone. There are job fairs every 3 months and companies are brought in to do interviews. Most importantly there is a more than competent staff who will work to make sure everyone gets a job.

everyone is always smiling. the campus is beautiful, and it's huge, but not too big that you can't walk everywhere! I haven't needed to take a bus to class yet!

The best thing about UMass is the wide variety of majors and minors. Not many people enter knowing exactly what they want to do with their lives; thus, changing majors is incredibly common. It is nice to have the range of options that UMass Amherst offers.

There are many various options for course studies and many highly educated and respected faculty members

Going to the University of Massachsetts gives students a place to live life on their own without just being thrown out into the big world. The diversity is so big that we can live our own lives and experience the lives of people we have never thought about before. To be honest the university offers anything you want. We have sports, food, academics, clubs, games, greek live, and even a quidditch team. We are so open minded to everyone and love to bring more of everything to our campus to make it more enjoyable for the students everyday.

The University Without Walls Program fit my needs exactly. My advisor was wonderful as well as most of my professors.

I love the teacher interaction, and the ability to get the help and insight i look for with every professor. as well the career services at UMass, it really helps and allows us (students) to gain resume building experiance and interview skills. Also the School has a lot of great options for food and study areas i love it.

The best thing about my school is the food at the dining commons. There is such a variety from a sushi bar, indian food, asian food, salad bar, vegetarian bar, pizza, and so much more! Aside from that, we also have Grab n' Go. Grab n' Go is a dining service that allows us to get food before or after classes when we are in a hire or on the go.
