    UMass Amherst is a great school if you are good at working in a large classroom setting. The lower lever classes are in very large lecture halls, but most thing are posted online for review which is great. Although it is a large school, there are weekly sessions with TA's to work one-on-one for help.

    Umass Amherst is a school that is for any type of student. Being a student that didnt know what I wanted to major in, it was a school with alot of opportunities to explore and try new things. Umass Amherst, however, is not for everyone. It is a big campus, with a lot of people and very big classes, but for those who love this big environment it is perfect. No matter what kind of student you are, everyone fits in somewhere at Umass.
