As a new Graduate Student at UMASS, I wasn't sure what to expect. I am fresh out of undergrad, and thought I could deal with living on campus. I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE WRONG.

I adore my department, professors, and classmates. Everything is perfect in that area.

If you are going to attend UMASS for graduate study, do whatever you have to do - take out more loans, whatever just LIVE OFF CAMPUS. The grad dorm here itself (Prince Hall) isn't too bad. It's mostly international students, and this has been a very enriching experience for me because I get to meet people from all over the world.

However, it is not worth the mental anguish of living in "Southweast" home to the most noisy, drunken, stupid, arrogant jocks in ths state of Massachusetts. When the Red Sox (or Patriots or school basketball team) win a playoff game, they stream outside by the hundreds to yell, scream, run around, taunt cops, and light things on fire. Last year they destroyed two cars. This year I watched crowds of students be shot at with rubber bullets and tear gas grenades FROM MY WINDOW. Prince Hall may occasionally have the jovial atmosphere of the United National Wine Tasting Programme, but do not be fooled. Living with the fucktards in the surrounding buildings has been the most difficult part of my time at UMASS. I do not feel safe. When I call the police to complain, they say things like "Well you know, the game just ended ma'am."

So, to sum up: UMASS graduate education = good. Living in Southwest if you would like to sleep, study or feel safe = bad.
