I’ve seen a lot of videos posted and heard of UMass students getting themselves into trouble. Is it easy to avoid? What if you’re housing with CS/Engineering?
All the craziness has kind of discouraged me a little bit of going, especially since I am definitely going there next year!
There are more than 20,000 undergraduates at UMass. Whoever your peeps are, you can find them. If you want to party like crazy then sure, you can do that at UMass. But you can also find plenty of people who have no desire to live up to the “ZooMass” label. They’re studying, they’re at the gym, they’re making music, they’re creating art, they’re busy with clubs and activities that cover just about any interest you can think of, they’re at work, they’re playing club or intramural sports, they’re hanging out with their friends watching movies, they’re attending a sporting event or theatre performance or concert on campus or at one of the other Five Colleges. In other words - yes! you can stay clear of the partiers and have a full and busy life at UMass.
