Terrible this is my second university. I had two classes to finish at my other university when I had to up root my family. There are no advisors to help with uww as far as getting a clear to sign up for classes and it's not straight forward. You want know what classes you need to sign up for or what number to put in to have it signed up if you have not used the system. Expect someone to over talk you tell you that you dont need help dispite never using their complicated online system and to be hung... Read More up on. They are very rude the receptionist mispronounced my name at least 5 times completely different and was completely confused by my simple requests. It's been the oddest experience I've never had just trying to get my classes put in for next semester. I'm contemplating leaving the college.

The University of Massachusetts Amherst has a great campus community, as well as a multitude of clubs and organizations to take part in. With the nation's #1 dining, it is a wonderful and supportive university to find the true college experience.

Within Sociology, we find a wide array of interest and topics for classes. These subjects often opened my mind up to perspectives and considerations that I never acknowledged before.

Fantastic experience. I can't say enough good things about this program and the faculty. Administration could be slow at times but I was always able to get any issue taken care of in the end. Faculty was very supportive and very knowledgeable. One professor who taught an entrepreneurship class was really great. The commitment that UMass has made to education and access has really paid off in my opinion. This is the best value for a highly regarded university I know of. The great reputation and great... Read More reviews are spot on. Would do it again in a heartbeat!
