Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] PreMed and Medical  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright At first I was very hesitant about going to Umass. At my high school there was a very negative connotation about going to a state school where a good deal of the kids were accepted. However money and location quickly pushed me into going here. However I have not regretted accepting to go here ever since. There was a great deal of kids who had exactly the same story as me and they were also surprised that there were other kids like them who did not just come to party. There are so many people who came here because they had to and ended up with an awesome experience both socially and academically. Indeed at a big research university like Umass you get what you put in. If you want to go out every night there are places to do that, if you want to be academically successful there are some very difficult honors courses with teachers who, in my experience, are some of the best I have ever had. There are also numerous research opportunities where undergrads can go and gain experience. Regarding the people almost every other freshman wants to start over, meaning that they will be friendly to everyone they meet, no matter how weird you are you will easily find your group of friends. The campus could be more aesthetically pleasing but its not horrible and with an awesome town so close by no one is really complaining. It is really cool in the morning to see the berkishire mountains covered by fog as well. Overall Umass is an awesome school. It is a good test of the real world where you are sometimes treated like a number and need to step it up in order to be noticed. In the coming years more and more people will apply making it much more competitive but even at the moment it is still an incredible deal for an excellent education.

It's really what you make of it. If you want to excel in your major and land a great job post-graduation, then you will. If you completely slack off and drink every night, obviously you won't get too far in terms of competing for jobs. UMass just got voted #18 in the nation in terms of getting a good value for your education! Social Life: A-, Campus Aesthetics: C Have a Question?
