| Gee MADAD LOL - there have been times that they haven't even gotten acceptances in the mail until mid June - let alone FA offers. It has been quite a mess there for years - I actually can't believe it still stands - but somehow it does.
Every year there are riots of some type there - stuff burned - lots of kids arrested - and the beat goes on. The flagship U just can't be sunk for somehow.
Actually the other UMASS schools - not the Amhurst one - that is where most of the problems are - but the other ones seems to be in better shape for some reason and don't have the raucus reputations that UMASS Amhurst has.
The financial structure of the UMASS $$ system does not lend itself to even attempting to keep our states best and brightest in-state AND to provide a good education at the same time. Most of the best and brightest won't even consider even looking at UMASS - there are sooo many other good opportunities elsewhere - and some out of state possibilities are about the same cost as the instate cost of UMASS. |
