<p>How tough is it at UMass? How difficult are the classes, in general? How much studying/homework is there on average?</p>
<p>I have a 4.0 - it isn’t that hard but it all depends on your major, I am a business major. For instance, someone with an engineering major will have a much more difficult route in achieving a 4.0 rather than someone who had taken psychology as a major. Depends on the major. As for homework and studying, you will spend between 10-30 hours studying/doing homework - if you have exams coming up.</p>
<p>Well I’m a psych major…so I’m feeling pretty good. But wow, that’s a lot of studying! I’m prepared to do whatever it takes though.</p>
<p>you’ll be fine. you’ll notice right away that college is not high school and the effort you put in is on a whole new level - but at least there’s parties and the sort if you are interested in that. just remember this: you pay to go to school (pay a lot!) so make it count.</p>
