REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingI am only a freshman here and I love it already! Academically I enjoy attending my classes. I have many friends who moan and groan about going to class and I am EAGER to do so here! I have 4 classes now in lecture halls of about 200 students but the professor knows my name! They really make an effort to keep you interested and feel good about what you are learning. They also really push for you to use their office hours to see them for any reasons!

For the person that reviewed this badly:
You dont know about the classes for sure. You dont even go to the school. Yes, I don't either, but I'm not going to turn down a college for that. Let alone make someone who hasnt been to the college think its aweful because of that.

The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth is everything you would want in a school. It has a large quantity of different majors, taught by great instructors, as well as being highly affordable. On top of that, it's centralized in North Dartmouth, a great town with many places and activities to keep you busy.
Jason from New Bedford, MA
A lot of the staff really know they're area of expertise. So many of the philosophy staff are so passionate about what they teach along with the Fine Art staff.
Andrew from Taunton, MA
The profressors I've had so far are amazing. I thought my lectures were going to drag on and on and that I was going be doing the same things that I already knew from high school general education classes. but of course I was wrong. I ve learned soo much in my first semester than I thought I would and it has challenged me to try harder and harder everyday to get better grades. But it really depends on what professors you get, I lucked out.
Cassandra from Medford, MA
I haven't started school yet, but the summer reading, Blink by Malcolm Gladwell has already taught me a lot and it has been the best summer reading I have read.
