UMass Boston in general sucks, first the school is old, it has a nice view with the ocean surrounding, but the buildings are like prisons.  The Campus Center is really nice being that it was opened few years ago, but the school is COMPLETELY crowded.  Since I started 3 years ago, every year they keep accepting another 1500+ students, but no new classroom are created... the cafeteria is extremely crowded most of the times, the library?  even worse it's a hassle to find a place to study specially for people like me who can't study at home... It's harder to make friends because most students go to classes, finish and go home.  Also, the school is really safe, I've been there for 3 years and only saw a small fight once in Freshmen year and that was about it in term of crime or public safety.

A cool thing though is that it's really diverse, and the professors really care about your grade, at least most of them, most will give you second chance, or chances to improve your grade if your not doing well.  The classes are NO JOKE, just because UMass Boston is not Harvard or ... MIT ect..  Don't expect any easy ride especially for Sciences, those classes are though.

Lastly, the “One Stop Service” is there to help if ANYTHING you need help with, financial aid, questions, classes, letter from school ect... it's where you go if you have any issue or problem and it's designed to be really convenient, but those staff are completely ARROGANT, NON-HELPFUL, RUDE AND MEAN.  There's about 7 staff working in one stop and out of them only one is nice which is the guy, all those ladies, (I'm not trying to be sexist) are completely assholes, when you go up to them for your issue, they don't say hi or welcome you in, even if you say hi, they always seem angry or upset or unwilling to help you, with the attitude of “you can just do that yourself through WISER”, but their job is to help you, not tell you to go do it yourself.
