Is it really that awful to have such big classrooms? I've been reviewing over 15 different colleges and all the public schools seem to have a huge number of students. if you ever needed further instruction, would the professors really not assist you? what about office hours? could you also describe the housing more in depth? i keep hearing about orchard hill, both negatively and positively. could you set it straight? |
Major: Business - Management and Administration (This Major's Salary over time)
I am a first semester freshman. This will also be my only semester at UMass for a bundle of reasons. I am a business school major. The school touts itself on the same level as Bentley, Babson, BU. I find that laughable. The quality of student admitted to the business school is pretty awful. The overall quality of student at the school is pretty awful. I came to college expecting to be academically and socially challenged. Instead i come here and find myself surrounded by people who shouldn't be in college. Who's entire social exsistence comes from drugs or alcohol. The school is massive over 20,000 students. So if you want any personal attention forget it. Your classes are going to be up to 400 people at times. Buildings are old and falling apart, desks may or may not be available. The housing is pretty bad as well, people trash the dorms and it shows. The food here is blah, some stuff is good, most stuff isnt. The whole food operation is run mostly by staffers who dont understand more than 2 words of english. Classes that your intrested in taking or need as a requirement are hard to get into because of the sheer number of people here. You probably will have to spend more than 4 years here to graduate on time. The professors here are all ultra liberal and try and get you to agree with their every view, dont dare to disagree or you'll look like a fool here. If you want a car here good luck, the few lots available are usually overbooked and there are vigilante towing companies around campus which will tow you car at will. The administration here is awful, if you want to get something done it could take months to years, they dont want to be bothered to do their jobs, they lose things, send you in a runaround to get an answer. The campus is pretty scenic with rolling hills and valleys and even a nice pond. However even that seems to get ruined by the typical "umasshole" mentality that students love to apply to themselves here. I am transfering to Bentley, a real business college, which will afford me many more opporitunites and enjoyable times then this place. Please Prospective students feel free to email me with any questions.
