The University of Massachusetts - Amherst
“UMass-Amherst is absolutely terrible.Biology
UMass-Amherst is absolutely terrible. It's filled with Mass-holes, who don't give a shit about their education and just want to smoke weed, drink and get in fights with other students. The school is full of wiggers, and the dorms look like NYC housing projects. Wherever there should be grass, Umass poured concrete. I really can't imagine a worse place than UMass-Amherst. DO NOT COME HERE.

“I am currently an "undeclared" student (on paper)Quite BrightUndecided
I am currently an "undeclared" student (on paper) following the engineering tract at this school, just finished my first semester and currently working through the second. This university is great socially, if all you care about is parties, alcohol and drugs then virtually anywhere on campus is your game. If you value your education, do good to stay away from here. There may be a few renowned department programs but this place is not worth your time. YOU ARE A NUMBER, that's all. You will never get any personable teaching and there is nothing to university's use of money and regard to students. They are currently "downsizing" while trying to bring in even more students, so housing is a crunch. The Pioneer Valley is great, taking classes at other schools is a great option too, but this school from strictly an academic point of view is dismal. Good deal, but good luck.

The recent construction on campus includes some amazing new facilities. For business and honors colleges, you better bring your A game, because you're not getting in without it.
