I love UMass Boston. I am local, from Arlington, and could not afford to leave. At first I was upset I couldnt go off and get away but now I am thrilled that I stuck around. I would not park on campus even though I have here and there (if you wake up late it will cost you six bucks to park). The campus is super accessible via public transportation and the shuttle bus runs constantly (you never wait more than five minutes and about 90% of the time its at the stop waiting to fill up). The faculty is super accessible each faculty posts their office hours but I have met with multiple professors outside of their office hours for clarification on classroom material. People say the buildings are falling apart I see no sign of that. I could see if people thought they were ugly but they are certainly not falling apart (the campus is simply a fortress). I also saw that someone thought the maintenance crew was poor I dont think this could be further from the truth. The buildings are immaculate especially the most important parts like the bathrooms.

Each student who attends UMass Boston wants to be their, they are paying for their education and they are dedicated to school 100%. That being said the social scene is stunted due to the fact that its a commuter school. The students are friendly and I have met a lot of nice people but I do rely on friends that I have known outside of school for most of my social connections. But UMass Boston is in Boston so its always fun to go down town and explore or meet up with students from other Boston area schools a lot of my friends go to schools like tufts, northeastern, Bentley and BU also its easy to hope on the commuter rail from south station to visit friends at Bridgewater or Providence.

Each day I wake up and am happy to go to school. I feel like UMass Boston, with challenging academics, great professors, and an accessible and beautiful campus is a hidden gem among all of the expensive private schools in Boston.
