  • College Review

    • What is your overall opinion of this school?

       

      best thing= the campus (when the weather is nice) ppl outside, everyone just in a good mood

      change= more choices at val

      school = too small

      Go to amherst = all the people who matter not only know what amherst is, but know that you are doing big things

      Most of my time = in my room, or in the lib

      college town = umass is its own town

      administration = very nice from what ive worked with

      big controversy = amherst confessional, anonymous postings, ppl bashing one another

      not a lot of school pride at all

      nothing unusual...until you get here

      being a lordjeff

      too much hw, damn

    • What are the academics like at your school?

       

      yea all my professors know me. favorite class fiction writing hands down. Hate math. Im always studying. common but not necessary. yea sometimes. Very competitive..but on the low.black music black poetry. idk havent chosen my major yet. Feel fine, open curriculum. Geared toward learning. But going to amherst in general is geared toward getting a job.

      no one feels out of place, unless you are unsure of yourself or not comfortable with your sexuality. But then again you could just find others in the same boat as you. Wear anythign you want. Yea all ppl interact, just not a lot. Separated by sports...usually. All over. Rich ppl. yea some. predominantely left. no

      basketball, nasty. yea leave my room open sometimes. not very popular unless its basketball or playing williams. yea some good ones. Theatre is popping. more of a hookup culture although i got a girl. just by chance. hw definately although many are not. you gotta get here to know. party all the time. not very. had a track meet, then had to go to work, then went out and did my thing. Dancing, chillin with friends, videogames. Go to umass, go into town, go to other schools
