The Anthropology Department at Umass Boston is EXCELLENT! This major I would recommend most definitely; Professors Silliman, Fazell,Den Ouden,Sieber,Worley and Pasto are my favorites and come mostly with PH.D's from Ivy League Institutions. I feel that I am leaving UMB prepared and most excinting to me is that fact that I am almost DEBT-FREE since UMB is not only public, but also VERY affordable. Although UMB is not in Boston proper, it is close enough for students to enjoy the AMAZING atmosphere of the city, probably the BEST in the nation. Also, they have satellite locations in places like Newbury Street, in an old High School which is pretty cool.People here just mind their business, however one can definitely make good friends. The problem for freshman is the fact that the student population here seem to be a bit older, therefore the whole high school social scene doesn't exist here.On the negative side, there are only few things that come to mind: In conclusion, I must add that with all its downfalls; I am happy that soon I'll be getting my diploma from UMB and will feel that I made a smart investment! After attending FAU, I can say that UMB although not as large or nice looking, is one of the finest public colleges I've seen. People are driven to succeed and take education very seriously. Professors aren't afraid to express their points of view…however, if you are a conservative you may have a hard time adapting here! If you are looking for the North East-perfect folliage-fraternity filled-large campus college experience; then brake the bank (or your parents') and go to BU, BC, Emerson or Northeastern. If you are looking for a balance between quality and value; then out of the UMASS system, UMB has BY FAR the best offer! Who wants to live in Amherst anyway… |
