Dislikes:

  • I think everything I have come across till now, I have really liked in my University. However, if I had to think about it, I love walking but for people who might not, the campus is quite huge. Not everyone likes walking, rather running to classes so if you are not one to "go on a walk" when you have to attend a class, make sure your schedule does not make you run around different areas of campus like mine did in the first semester of freshman year! .

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!

Dislikes:

  • The limitations of Placement program could have been elaborated well in advance. It would be beneficial for university to provide more detailed information about placement rates, alumni success stories, and resources for job searching to help students feel more confident about their post-certifications plans. It can be little bit frustrating not knowing what opportunities are available after getting the certificate or how to access them. Without proper guidance or transparency from the career services department, students may feel uncertain about their future prospects. If college doesn't have strong connections with companies or provide resources for networking and job hunting, students may struggle to find employment in their field of study. null

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.

Dislikes:

  • The location is really isolated and is inaccessible especially for international students. It takes a minimum of 2 hours to reach campus from the nearest airport which is in Boston. Being a vegetarian, the food options in the canteen are also limited. null

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.

Dislikes:

  • I don’t have anything to dislike as of much but one thing I can say is that it is pretty secluded as the university is located in a remote town called Amherst, it would have been nice if the university was in a city or if I had joined a university in a city .

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.
