Hows Umass amherst?

<p>did you like the school?
are the students friendly?etc...
It's one of my top choices but I've been seeing a lot of mixed opinions on the school.
so please share you're experience. it'd really help!</p>

<p>I know about 8 people who go there, and so far all of them really love it! The only ones who didn’t like it at first were tranfers, and that was only because they didn’t really know a lot of people at first, and transfered in the Spring. There are almost 21000 students there soo you’ll always meet new people, but i’ve visited there a couple times and everyone i’ve met has been really nice and welcoming! It is also a really good school, people always give it crap for being a party school but it is also very good academically as well. But so far I have heard only good things about it:)
Also two of my friends who go there signed up and were able to study abroad in Florence! So that’s pretty cool as well! They have a lot of other places you can choice to study abroad to for a semester!</p>
