Indians At Umass

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Massachusetts - Amherst

Hi I am an indian accepted to Umass class of 2022. I was wondering how the indian community is around there (if any) and how easy is it for any outsider (international) to settle there? Anyone experienced please share your experience.

I can’t speak as an Indian, but I can speak as someone who lived in Amherst (as an adult) for 10 years. Amherst is very diverse as a community and very welcoming and open to all cultures. UMass is also a very diverse campus. I think you would easily find a welcoming Indian community in the area, and it is definitely an easy school to be diverse at.

Thank you that is a beautiful answer, I have high regards for amherst now.

Sorry–be diverse at sounds silly. I meant the school itself is diverse and it’s open to all cultures.

Thanks guys for your replies. I get a picture that Umass is very accommodating and open. I hope I can unwind and settle into the new culture with ease. after all I am travelling 5000 miles, I hope that it is worth it.

Most Indian community settle in Northeast, specifically Dwight and Leach. You may also join a CS rap. They tend to have a lot of Indians too
