I am currently an "undeclared" student (on paper) following the engineering tract at this school, just finished my first semester and currently working through the second. This university is great socially, if all you care about is parties, alcohol and drugs then virtually anywhere on campus is your game. If you value your education, do good to stay away from here. There may be a few renowned department programs but this place is not worth your time.

YOU ARE A NUMBER, that's all. You will never get any personable teaching and there is nothing to university's use of money and regard to students. They are currently "downsizing" while trying to bring in even more students, so housing is a crunch. The Pioneer Valley is great, taking classes at other schools is a great option too, but this school from strictly an academic point of view is dismal. Good deal, but good luck.
