My DD just got accepted to both UMass Amherst and UMass Lowell honors college with a Dean’s scholarship. Her preference is UMass Amherst but we don’t know anything about Lowell’s honor’s college and if that should sway us. She plans to be an English or communications major.
If anyone has any information on Lowell’s honors college we’d really appreciate it! Thank you.
My son was in similar circumstances, chose Lowell Honors. Honors housing is really nice, new, suite style- double bedrooms plus bathrooms in the suites and comes with an apt sized fridge and best of all a/c! Amherst was just too large for him. Although the Honors housing is not in the building with the all u can eat (swipe) dining hall it is very close! Most freshmen live in the really tall housing building. He chose the honors housing even though it is more $ the a/c and extra space are well worth it! Honors prog requires a writing class- not his strong suit.so far good experiences with prof. and helpful staff at help desk when questions about billing arose. Good luck! Both are great choices!
