I'm currently a freshmen and all I have to say that this University is basically what you make it. Listen theres 25000 students in a big campus. For the people who complained that its to big, well you should have went to a liberal arts college. If you have the mentality that hey I'm a small fish in the ocean, but I have the resources to come out on top then you should go to Umass. I mean for a state university it hasall the essential things you need. If you want to hang with smart kids you can go hang out with kids in the honor college. If you want to hang with party people you can do that to. There are places in Umass where you can go and do great, and there are places where you can go and end up dropping out. It all depends on the individual. People in this univeristy who complain about it just don't simply try harder enough. For example yes there are crappy frat parties, and bad students. But for me I just get away. I made friends with people who live all over campus who i can chill with without going to any crappy frat parties, and I have cousins at hampshire college who I can hang with. If you look hard and work hard it shouldn't take you more than a semester to do well, and have a great experience at Umass.
