I think I have, up until now had a very good experience in my university. As an international student too, I never had any sort of issues in the university. I think my overall experience has been very positive, and I would definitely recommend this university to other students who are looking for an affordable yet good college to go to!

As this was my very first global university academic experience, I enjoyed most of it. The curriculum, separate individual certifications within this major certification, syllabus vastness, faculty interactions, a combination of live and recorded sessions, conducting live proctored tests, interactive & impromptu project creation & submissions, overall, it was a roller coaster ride.

My overall college experience could be defined as challenging, only because I feel very estranged from home and find it difficult to live in a rural environment. Notwithstanding that, it is a great place to learn and build your future.

UMass Amherst is a good university with a lot of resources and facilities that can aid students to help their studies. Faculties are pretty good except for some who don't know how to teach. There are plenty of research opportunities. Careers team is really good. But the location of campus limits the number of career fairs we can attend. There is housing crunch in Amherst.

It was a much needed experience especially after staying in India which like my comfort zone, I finally realised the value of hard work and struggle.

This university is one of the good universities for Masters in Data Science. It is also close to where my spouse works.
