Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Despite the bad parking and unpredictable weather here, it’s still hard to find someone who genuinely hates UMass. The University’s large size provides its students with more resources and options than smaller schools, so take advantage of this. If you work hard and don’t let yourself get too distracted by all the parties, you will be able to avoid some of the pitfalls that plague students who are fresh out of high school and aren’t used to such responsibility.

A lot of students are concerned with the recent budget cuts, but UMass’s financial situation will improve over time and may not even affect future incoming classes. Regardless, going to UMass and experiencing such a multifaceted institution will open doors for you. And, judging from the comments students have made about the University, coming to UMass has truly enriched their lives, academically and socially, and it can do the same for yours!
