So… My current financial/in-state safety is Umass-Amherst. However, I’ve heard a lot of mixed messages about it. Some things I’ve heard:

Some bad (in my opinion)…

Party school. Loud and unsafe.
Unmotivated students.
No “intermingling” of students.


Some good…

Good honors college.
The town of Amherst is funky and cool.
All types of people go there.


Has anyone here gone to umass…? Does anyone have any solid information/opinions on it…?
