Being academically dismissed, a student is told in numerous emails that they have to take off a semester but then can re-enroll. It turns out that the student is permanently dismissed from the university. 3: financial aid can be taken from you at any time; I had $900 taken off my financial aid from a semester that was already over and we had already paid the tuition but we were forced to pay even more money after the fact. 4: The university is terrible at mental health help. All they do is have the same four workshops and offer ?15 free therapy sessions? (which you only get 3 and they are only 15 minutes long) but do not offer actual useful mental health help for struggling students. 5: their websites are outdated, impossible to navigate, and often contradict themselves, leading to misinformation. I have so many other complaints I could give about the university and I?m sure many other students do too.

The students, including myself, tried to help him, so we could log in and have a class at all. Worse yet is that instead of resolving issues,the administration stick together no matter what and the students are the paying enemies.

They have excellent programs in engineering, business, computer science applied science and agricultural degrees. I made the mistake of majoring in Communications which for the most part is a joke of a degree with little to no hands on approach to its curriculum. U Mass is a very difficult school as you can easily get lost in the shuffle and fall into the Zoo Mass/party/drugs aspect of UMass. However, there are quite a few who graduate from this school. The key is to know what you want and choose the right major.

Furthermore, it's 4 years of post-adolescent daycare in a controlled setting. There are far too many students and many are naive that the return of investment of their degrees will backfire on them. U Mass lets far too many students in and U Mass has far too many worthless degrees. The best thing to happen to this school is a crack down on its administration.
