<p>Why would (or should) you know, by now? Because you are a graduating senior who has been through the college look-see period. What life is really like at some campus (beyond the shiny marketing materials,) what classes are offered, what dorm options exist, etc, are all things many kids look at. Not all, of course. You started the thread pretty much against UM-A- aren’t you a Mass kid? Did you know about the consortium, eg?</p>
<p>I don’t mean to be harsh. Sorry. But, there is much great about this school. Yeah, it’s big. So are many great State U’s. Yeah it has partying. But, every school that parties hard also has plenty of kids in the library, at a concert, out doing service or hanging with quieter friends. Good luck. Hope that, in a year, you have happy news to post.</p>
