<p>I'm a freshman athlete at Bryant University and after completing my first semester I realized this is not what I wanted my college experience to be. It seems like there is never anything going on at school, not necessarily talking about parties, but the school does not host any events like other schools I have heard of. I am contemplating transferring to UMass Amherst for next fall but I don't want to regret it. Will I get more out of my education by staying at Bryant or would my experience be that much more enjoyable at UMass??</p>
<p>Nobody can answer your question, of course. If you know someone at UMass whom you could visit, that might help you decide. It’s a lot bigger & with other schools around. But what about your athlete status? Lots of freshmen aren’t happy at first, so you could end up loving where you are now.</p>
