| UMASS = ZOOMASS - hasn't changed in years - has had ongoing administrative - financial - student problems that just don't seem to improve - it just continues to flounder. Neither of my kiddos would even consider going there - albiet both would have been eligable for free tuition hahahahaha - that is also a joke cuz the fees are just about 3 times what in-state tuition is and with frequent (even by the semester) increases in tuition/fees - it is sooo mismanaged it - to me - is not worth all the hassles involved in attending.
It is true that the strike issues are not resolved - nor are the RA roblems - or the availability of courses - and yet buildings sit empty - as they are unable to afford the use of them - ooo and don't forget the over subscription of entering freshman and and and..............
UMASS has had 'behavior' problems - the kids just seem to love to party - and get overly excited you might say on a regular basis - not a good idea to be on campus when any team in New England/UMASS wins - yikes.
I know that UMASS does have some good programs - some exceptional ones as well - just not interested in what the culture there offers to the state of confusion uuummm eerrrrrr of MA. It seems to be a real thorn.
I can trash UMASS - I live in MA. Since I have followed what has gone on there over the years - it really ticks me off that because of so many really bad choices by the state - chancelor right on down to the students who attend there - it was not a viable option for either of my kids.
OOO well. |
