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.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Although most of the UMass Dartmouth's instructor team is made up of great teachers, I would recommend thoroughly looking for the right teachers. Not really look for an easy A, because than you don't learn anything. But you don't want a very difficult teacher where you don't learn anything either. For example, my friends and I attend different Engineering classes. I know just as much as they do, and learn the same material, but I have a much more fair professor.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
You get what you put in. There are definitely a lot of classes that you can breeze on through for the next few years, depending on your major. But than there are the classes that you really have to try in to succeed. The professor's tend to be very fair, and so long as you're willing to learn, they are willing to teach.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I commute to college so I can't give you an accurate response to dorm life. But from what I gathered from other students who dorm, and compared to my friends who attend different schools, the living conditions are decent enough. Though, they're not as nice looking as some other dorms that I've visited, I'm sure they get the job done.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
With plenty of restaurants and food carts, as well as a built in Wendy's, there's plenty of places to go for food. If you're eating in the dining halls, the food there is okay, though a lot of people feel as if it goes right through you.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Being placed in North Dartmouth, there's plenty of things to do around here. Things to consider is the Dartmouth Mall, the Caddy Shack golf driving range and amusement center, several plazas containing large stores (Target, Dick's Sporting Goods, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, etc...). The SAIL office at UMass Dartmouth, as well as many fraternities and sororities, are also constantly setting up events that are usually free admission or very little cost.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
This is a very affordable school, and I feel like I'm getting a great education here. You really get what you put in here. A lot people can disagree, but this school has everything you need to advance in a lot of different careers. The only thing different you get from going to a much more expensive school is a piece of paper. In the end, you learned the same things, and are just as good as they are.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This school has people from all walks of life. Future Engineers, Businessmen, Nurses, Politicians, and Artists are born here. Though the school is greatly accredited for its Engineering and Nursing majors, there really isn't anyone who won't find a great education and life here.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I haven't explored many clubs since I've been here, but from I can see, there are plenty of them for all kinds of different activities. Whether from video gaming to sports, there's a club for anyone. There are even clubs that are made to get people of the same major together.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are several different fraternities and sororities available to join, as well as co-ed fraternities. Though I haven't joined them, I have friends who have and all they can talk about is how great of an opportunity it is. The Greeks set up a lot of great events that usually is open to anyone on campus, as well as friends.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I haven't had any trouble with the law around here, but from the emails I'm receiving about safety advisories, and from how I see them on everywhere on campus, I feel as if they are on top of everything around here.
