UMass is a great deal for the money- especially seeing as they hand out scholarships left and right. Some people like the Honors program, I'm not one of them. As for the business classes, they are relatively helpful and the professors are easy to get in touch with if you need help. The one departement I have a problem with is Computer Science. They are extremely hard to work with and they expect you to teach yourself most of the programming language in COMPSCI-121. Java is an object based language and is not intuitive for many people without serious programming experience.

The greek system is pretty good, as are the opportunities in other RSOs. There is a club for everything here and you will never go bored.
