We are interested to know whether it is possible to take a Commonwealth Honors College - specific tour of Umass Amherst. A graduateof UMASS myself, and with one daughter there already, I am generally familiar with the school and its admissions requirements. I have a high-stats second daughter who would consider the Commonwealth Honors College, and would like to learn more about it.
I’m a mom of a UMass honors student (majoring in CS). He is quite happy that he chose UMass. I don’t believe they offer specific tours of the honors college, but there is a lot of information available online. Personally, I am also happy that my son chose UMass because we didn’t qualify for financial aid, and the instate tuition along with some merit scholarships made it a very affordable option in comparison to other schools that we considered. I highly recommend UMass Amherst Commonwealth Honors College.
Correction; tour information is on the UMass website. https://www.honors.umass.edu/visiting-us
Thanks so much for the reply, proudmomofanerd - UMASS appeals to us for many of the reasons you describe!
My daughter is there at Commonwealth Honors College. She is VERY happy there. For her, it was the perfect match, at an affordable price. The only course she didn’t enjoy last semester was the mandatory honors gen ed course!
