<p>So guys..what should i chose!? </p>

<p>I'm going to be a freshman at Umass Boston, but I didn't realize the pain that comes with a commuter/ ZERO dorms type of school! I did get into Lowell; didnt apply to Amherst. But now even though i havent started, im considering transferring to either Amherst or Lowell, both of which I've heard & researched are good schools!! </p>

<p>My question to you all, is which of these 2 would be a better fit?
I'll be going into exercise & health sciences; im interested in the medical field/ going for physician assistant/ easier than going for being a doctor.. also minor in psych possibly. To inlcude..lowell never got back to me with financial aid/ dont know where those papers went but all schools i applied to gave me pretty good financial aid..especially Boston.</p>

<p>UMass Amherst! They have a really good health and sciences program and in comparison to Boston, they’ve got much more to offer. Even if it is a party school, you can learn and do a lot there. UMass Boston is just located in a more urban area and if you like that, okay. Amherst has 5 dorm areas that you can enter into and it gives a lot of choices. </p>

<p>I’m going to UMass Amherst for pre-medicine studies(BS) this fall and I’ve been looking into it a lot.</p>
