There are a wide range of gen ed classes, so you can pretty much try almost every subject in order to figure out what major you want to study. There are also a lot of fun gen eds, so you'll learn something interesting and funny while fulfilling your graduation requirements. It's also very easy to find information on your desired major, both online, and at the school department offices.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
UMass is a pretty big school, but it's pretty easy to get close to the people you live with and there are always opportunities to meet new people. There are always a lot of activities, academic and social, and not very difficult to find something to do, on or off campus.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
UMass is really helpful with financial aid and has great food that you normally wouldn't expect on a college campus. There are six different residence areas, and UMass even helps with nearby off campus housing if preferred.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Even though it seems awkward, try to develop a personal relationship with your professors. Approach your professor after class with maybe something they mentioned in class whether related to the subject or not (keep it appropriate), even if you don't need help at the moment. If you create a dynamic where the teacher can put a face to a name, you will have a much easier time receiving help when you really need it.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
UMass is really great for all types of students because you can always find someone you can relate to.
