<p>when I visited U mass, it looked like a school that needed tons of money to fix it up, not to make it fancy…just modernize stuff like bathrooms, dorms, class buildings etc…(a lot of neglected repair/replacement work)
and many students had a granola type feel to them.
not sure U mass will become a destination school for high achieving students or the coveted out of state students, like a u of michigan or william and mary is.</p>
