I am an international student who did not get into NYU, so I had to attend UMass. Overall, I think it is a decent experience, though I definitely have some problems. Firstly, I found it IMPOSSIBLE to keep friendships here since the student body is huge and so is the campus. Then, I do not feel challenged in any of my classes except for maybe the Honors ones - and even these aren't half as hard as I expected. Students seem apathetic and not really interested in striving to get an A. Also, I found the town extremely boring, especially since I don't drive a car.
