I love the classes and my teachers. Its really cool to be in such a diverse environment.

Honestly, I had the most horrific experiences with my roommates and the housing here. The Office of Student Housing is awful. They are not helpful and they don't have an effective system in place. If you have any problems with your roommates, the school says they have resources but... I have not had good experiences with them. I've been in contact with the Dean of Students and the Director of Student Housing and neither of them have done much to help me. To read more about my experiences I have a UMB Blog at http://blogs.umb.edu/emilylevin002/

The cost is low but paying for an apartment can get pretty pricey.

DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU ARE GOING TO RENT AN APARTMENT. So many things can go wrong. And you won't get ANY help from the school. Even if they assure you that they will help you, take it from someone who's been there and done that.

Still living with their parents or adults going back to school

The school if good, and the professors are overall good. The courses are hard but that's why you don't take a lot of courses. The camps is always full with people.

don't take too many courses, no more than 16 credits ever
stay focus, and know when to take a day off

Academically is tough and does why most students don't take more than 4 courses per semester

UMB does not have dorms.

The food is not like mom's but is very good.

For fun we just go to the city of Boston, and hangout at restaurant of bar.

I love the the history that surrounds the University. This is an amazing place to get an education. I feel like a student and not a number here.

Enjoy the University and what it offers and the city it is in.

Although there is no dorms here, across the street are two housing communities that the students can live in and walk to classes.

I feel very safe here!

The school is great for those who rather commute or live off campus because there are no dorms but it is in the city and accessible by the T. The professors are helpful when you need them, there is always an event going on so you will never be bored, and it is extremely diverse. Faculty and students make this University one big community.

Get involved with clubs on campus. It is a great way to meet people because the school is so large. Students may also want to take advantage of their professors' office hours whenever they need extra help or just have a homework question.

You ultimately choose your classes but Professors will push you to think more critically.

There aren't dorms but UMass Boston does help with campus housing.

There is one large cafe with a variety of foods all throughout the day. There are also smaller cafes around campus.

You can take kayaking lessons, go on a harbor cruise, watch movies under the stars outside our Campus Center and much more!

The University is a little more on the affordable side compared to other schools in the city and the financial aid office tries to help any way they can. Along with advisers and specific programs, the schools tries to help you save money.

There are over 120 different clubs on campus that are always hosting fabulous events. And you can even start your own club!

Many events happen around campus because we are on a busy street and in the city but the school is very good about alerting us via email or text about what is going on.

Most diverse school.

Great professors!

Challenging, it's way different from high school.

I live at home, but the houses look beautiful from outside!

umass boston is challenging.

the nursing program is demanding.

no dorms, but there are apartments and condos right next door.

there are plenty of places on campus to grab a coffee and a snack, the cafeteria has great variety, but it can add up$$.

boston is the best city! hop on the train and go to quincy market, or just run around the corner to the beach.

plan your major so that you can pop put of school and into an industry, such as biotech or education.

the chancellor welcomes students in person on the first day of class each semester. he hands out swag and free coffee and muffins.

great for commuters, non-traditional, anybody!

discount tickets, lots of student activities.

no greek!

drive safely on campus, and all will be well.

I think the professors are great, although not all, most are very helpful and teach well.

It is a friendly environment and people seem to be very open to new friendships.

The tuition is not as expensive as other universities in the area and the professor teach well.

Keep up with all the school work, join clubs and different organizations. Do not be afraid to ask for help whether from a fellow classmate, professor, or tutor.

It is a great school for students who want to peruse their careers while obtaining part-time jobs.

I love UMass Boston. I have wanted to go to UMB for as long as I remember. Academics to physical surroundings of UMB are above par.

Boston and surrounding area is wicked expensive. Be prepared. Look for scholarships if need be.

Great academic programs. Professors are all engaged and very approachable.

na- live off campus

Love the food at UMB. Cafetaria is great with plenty of selections and seating. The cafes throughout the campus are great. Love my coffee.

Fun??? I work full-time, in the military, single mom, and take 9(+) credits a semester. For fun I study or go to the gym and most of the time I multi task and do both at the same time. Running on the treadmill while readingover my notes or listening to a lecture.

The honors area is a great quiet place to study or sleep a few minutes.

cheapest and one of the good and affordable schools in Boston.
Holds very good lecturers with very polite and helping nature.

This is best school for the prospective students with very good chances of GA's n TA's. the environment here is seriously awesome.

students looking for good education with a reasonable price n great life.

Umass is a research institution with a teaching spirit. The school has amazing facilities. It is geared for college life.

Check out the student housing options at harbor and peninsula. Also, get used to the metro and have fun down town.

The programs seem comparable to most others.

Many students live in harbor and peninsula. There are no official dorms.

Great cafeteria with different restaurant options right inside.

Sailing, kayaking, museums, downtown, salem, cambridge.

Amazing education and great facilities.
