my brother went there for a year…

transferred for a bunch of reasons. he didnt want to go there in the first place but had to after my mom wouldnt let him go to his first choice and he didnt want to go to her first choice. were from nj, so he was out of state and felt out of it with all MA kids. and hes definetly a city kid and the student body was shocking to him because its very different from our area.

definetly a party school, he said he had fun even though he knew it wasnt for him. he was very unmotivated in HS and didnt get great grades, but was able to get his best grades to date there, and im sure he never locked himself in his room or skipped a party.

if you can get into the honors college and need the money, its definetly a good option for you
