Well, I’ve always liked the fact that UMass has the five college system. However, in the case of astronomy, those other, excellent colleges do not likely have any facilities or resources in astronomy that significantly enhance the astronomy offerings at UMass. Other things and experiences, yes.

The consortium probably benefits the students at the other colleges more, in that UMass’ larger course catalog fills in the gaps that the small colleges have in their offerings.
