 " I think it's a very good school if you're the kind of student that just wants to focus on their studies. I think the social aspects are a bit lacking but all my professors and advisers have been excellent. It's about what youd expect from a commuter school but a bit better in my opinion. "

 " I spent my first two years at UMass as a business management major. The courses weren't very interesting to me, and I found a passion for psychology in my personal interests and research aside from schools. When I switched my major, I was able to quickly get in touch with the chair of the psychology department and a few psychology advisors, all of who answered my questions on the types of courses I would take, how it would affect my progress to graduating, and possible career paths. Without their help, I would have probably held back on switching my major because of the lack of knowledge I had about the processes, and I have been more excited to come to school since then.

 " UMass Boston is a great institution with a social justice focus and a diverse student body. I have really enjoyed my time here. The psychology department is excellent. Primarily a commuter school, so not as much of a social scene as other schools, but lots of clubs and social supports on campus. "

 " UMass Boston has a large student population, it’s very diverse and welcoming. Faculty are not all the best but what school does? I enjoy making friends and networking at school. During COVID-19, the school and faculty members did their best to accommodate to students. I appreciate the time and effort they took to help students with their studies. Workload is manageable and I tried my best to select courses that actually taught me something. Thankfully, there are a lot to choose from. "
