Any school is what you make it but UMB has everything for you to make it great. It’s a moderately sized state school but the professors are accessible and friendly. Also, there are plenty of opportunities on campus, such as athletics (both for spectators and participants), student organizations like student government and many others. Plus, Boston is your playground. Just hop on the T and explore the city. There are no dorms at UMB. Even though this is not a secret some kids seem to be surprised when they get here. You have to find your own place which really disperses the student body. Most of the complaints about the university come from kids who came here for a semester and transferred out because UMB is not a traditional college and they felt that their social life was suffering because of the lack of dorms. In response to this I urge people to give it time. Not having dorms means that you don’t meet as many people as quickly as you would at say UMass Amherst but you will meet a lot of people through classes. Once you do the campus that was full of strangers becomes much more friendly and enjoyable. UMB is a great school where you have a beautiful campus view, accessible friendly professors and hard working students who appreciate that there are many ways to be educated and that everyone brings something to the table.

They do not encourage exploration and learning. They're only concern is getting their opinions heard as fact. Political Science, same thing. One overpaid professor ($130,000/year at an underfunded state school) is a prime example of the expression, "...those who can't teach." The administration is downright rude, and forget the financial aid office. You're better of begging for nickels with a plastic cup. Surrounding City: B, Faculty Accessibility: F Have a Question?
