University of Massachusetts-Lowell Top Questions

That there aren't a lot of options for continuing education in terms of when the classes are offered. Would have liked for continuing ed to have not only night classes but also day classes.

I wished I had known how expensive a four year college really is. Despite the expense, the education received is priceless!

I wish I'd known that I was going to be screwed over financially every semester because the Chancellor is lining his pockets and not helping the students. The comitte raise the fees every semester, and even with student protests they don't listen to us.

Before I went to college I wish I knew that in order to be truly happy on campus I needed to stay there on weekends. I went home a lot during my freshman year and as a result I missed out on meeting as many people as I could have.

I wish I knew how much more prepared you had to be for classes as well.

I had a really good knowledge of student life and academic prospects before I attended this school. I think Umass Lowell is under-rated in quality, if I had known how good their programs were I wouldn't have been so reluctant to attend. Advice: Don't be fooled by the horrible city life surrounding the campus.

Nothing really at all.

I wish I had known how unorganized UMass Lowell is. A good amount of the professors do not really care about your grades or being available. A few of my professors were hard to get in contact with grades, papers, etc.

For some majors the adivors are very intune with their sudents but others are not so you have to watch out for yourself to make sure you graduate on time because a lot of students don't.
