I highly recommend people not go to to this school espically if your an out of state student. I grew up on a college campus and I have spent most of my life in a variety of college settings and UMass is by far the worst college I have ever visited. The main problem is that the school is very poor; they spend less on their students than what you pay in tuition! They have racked up hundreds of millions in debt on "expanding" the campus by builiding apartments and marching band rooms while neglecting the classrooms, libarires and building upkeep. Most of the classrooms in this school are very old, moldy and lined with dirty floors or cracked walls. The bathrooms are disgusting and often have grafitti or broken sinks. Campus asthestics is a joke; think ugly cement buildings. The only positive part of the campus are the professors and the diversity of the student body. However this pro is far outweighed by the school's crumbling builidings and extremely poor resources. The library is LOUD, it's constantly crowded and there are no free computers. You spend 30,000 dollars to go to a university and you can't even use the library. The adminstration constantly makes mistakes and programs are constantly being cut. My most recent 3 hour class does not even have enough seats for the students! 20 students every class are forced to stand or sit. And another thing if you come here sign up for the classes the day of registration because they fill up extremely quickly. Umass could have been a great college but every year it keeps getting worst and tuition keeps rising.
