Umass Amherst Second Degree - Fall 2013

Published

Hi everyone! I didn't see anyone post about the up and coming fall 2013 cohort for Umass Amherst so here it is! I just got accepted and wanted to discuss anything and everything about the school to make a hard decision of whether to go there or not. Goodluck everyone!

Itulloch21, I went to Amherst this past weekend and loved the little town! It's small but has a lot more stuff than Rutland, VT. Yes, I am definitely choosing this program. I took a tour of the school too. I think the facebook page is a good idea. Let me know if you can start it up, if not I'll go ahead and do it.

I'm so excited, just got my spire account all set up!

Not at all, I am a senior at Florida State University receiving a bachelors in Family and Child Sciences. My gpa is 3.5 and pre-req gpa is 3.7-3.8. Thank you and keep your head up! Maybe call and ask an admissions person what you could do better to improve your chances?

Hi!

Itulloch21 - Would you say Amherst is a safe place to live?

For those that are coming from out of state: are you planning on driving/shipping/leasing a car there? I have yet to decide which is the better option.

definitely! i've never felt unsafe at the bars at night or walking home with my friends. I mean there are crazies everywhere so you gotta be careful no matter what I suppose. but i really dont have any complaints my whole time at Umass so thats good! Where are you coming from?

Okay all, so I am trying to create a fb group and am not having very much luck! It seems that it will only let me create one if I add my friends as members. So if someone else knows how to do it go right ahead! otherwise I think we have to become friends and it should work?!

Itulloch21 - Thanks for the reply! I'll be coming from California, so the opposite coast. It'll be a big change/move for me as I've never been out of California for school. I'm a bit nervous, but the program is soooo much cheaper than any other program I've come across. Yea, to make a group on FB you have to have friends you can invite into it first.

Oh ya that'll be a change! But you'll love the east coast. New England is the bestttt! Just don't forget a warm coat!

To everyone who would like to join the facebook group if you want to friend me I will do the group and add you; my name is Lauren Tulloch I am under the University of Massachusetts Amherst network and studied kinesiology. If you can't find me let me know!

Itulloch21 - Okay, I added you! (: You said you lived on campus, right? How are the rooms? Are they spacious/nice/old? I am thinking of applying for on campus apartments since it'll be easier and I won't have to buy furniture etc.
