<p>As someone who transferred from UMass to Cal, I can say that UMass will never reach a school like Cal. Some of the kids at UMass I worked with had 6th grade writing skills. Many professors used material from the 2000s to talk about present day sociological trends. A kid in a intro chem class asked simple biology questions a 9th grader wouldve laughed at.</p>
<p>The admitting of middle school level college age kids KILLS the academic experience. UMass needs a whole lot of help.</p>
