<p>@paws27, awsome article, thanks. My son got into umass yesterday and as parent I am happy for him to be at Umass. </p>
<p>@paws27 thanks for taking so much time to write a detailed answer.</p>
<p>MHMdad, anytime you visit, pick up or drop off your kid, parents eat for free in the dining halls as long as kid has a meal plan. Lets you see that what’s being served is good food.</p>
<p>@MADad, that’s awsome, we live 1hour away from the school, I guess dinner on him. Thanks for the note.</p>
<p>@bucky0926 I’m just now reading your comment correctly, lol. I always thought it said, “don’t be surprised if your chances are less if you hear much later”.</p>
