<p>My son just finished up his bachelor’s in Sport Management with a minor in Econ. He was an Isenberg Business School and Commonwealth College member. He didn’t get the great perks that new Comm Coll students receive, since he was off campus for the new complex opening. </p>
<p>We paid a surcharge for the Comm Coll experience. I have to admit that bothered me. If he was a part of the Comm Coll residence and community, I would have been happier. That being said, my son was a member of the class of 2014 and finished up a semester early, had many amazing experiences, was on a first name basis with professors and met plenty of the movers and shakers in the sport industry. He loved his time at UMass Amherst, living for 2 years in the concrete lowrise dorms of Southwest. The dorms weren’t anything fancy, but imho that is fine. It’s college, not a high end resort experience.</p>
<p>I am hoping that my daughter has the opportunity to attend UMass Amherst and I would be tickled pink if she gets invited into Comm Coll.</p>
