As a senior in high school, I was extremely conflicted in where I wanted to pursue a higher education. Even on the deposit deadline, I still had absolutely no idea where I wanted to go. I committed to UMass simply because it was the cheapest option, and my logic was that if I wasn’t 100% sold on any of my other options, I might as well go to the one that I could afford. Now, as a college senior, I look back and am so grateful that I chose this school. In this blog post, I am going to cover the top 5 reasons (in no particular order) that I feel why a large school like Umass provides the absolute best education.
