<p>I'm a prospective uMass student for the fall of 2012 hoping to be enrolled in the business program and have several questions.
A.)With rankings and inflated statistics aside, is the business program truly respected in the corporate world when it comes to internships and the value of the degree?
B.)How is the social life? (Party scene, intramural sports)
C.)For any current students or alumni, was uMass your first choice and if you could do it again, would you go back?</p>
<p>I don’t know about A and B, but as for C, I can tell you that every UMass alum I have met (and I have met plenty since I live in MA) pretty much without exception has said that they loved the school and had a great time there.</p>
<p>My S is there now, it became his first choice as we worked through the selection process, and he is very happy there. He has no regrets.</p>
<p>A. My brother graduated from Umass Amherst with a bachelors in business administration about 1 year ago with great grades and he was able to find an internship the summer of his third year easily and now after graduation he got a great job offer in Seattle… but he also got some in near places like Boston. So he has a pretty good job right now from just a bachelors and he will be going back to school for his masters!</p>
