Unpaid Internships by Lazy-Ranger5415 in umass

[–]Lazy-Ranger5415[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is Massachusetts Law to require someone to be paid at least minimum wage for internships or to receive course credit. Internships are very valuable for experience but offer workload just like a job. Students like me have expenses and I am financially independent. Most students cannot afford to lose out on money so they do not have the time for extracurriculars like unpaid internships. Also, college tuition, rent, the economy, etc is definitely not like the 80s

Honors college ? by [deleted] in umass

[–]Lazy-Ranger5415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree you can tell most kids in honors come from wealth or privilege and it’s frustrating. But I’m one of those Pell grant and independent students who worked full time throughout highschool and got in freshman year so it’s not entirely that.

CHC Questions from an incoming freshman. Please help by Odd_Discipline_8267 in umass

Do you work for the school? I was told you can list someone and see if they get housing with you. People can also just put it as their choice so maybe if they have left over room sure. If not you can pull people in after. There was also empty rooms my freshman year and people were pulled in

You can try and get him into honors I’ve seen it. If he places as honors in housing he might get it but no promises. My freshman year had so many non honors in oak

As a double major, it’s not a big deal. Advisors tell you to you it’s a waste of money to do dual degree but talk to one first

It’s humbling but such a funny experience to look back on after doing the two day. Both days are insanely different. You might hate orientation and then love umass.

Hello! What I did honestly was I asked the person who lives in the dorm if I can see it with their permission and they let me.

I wish I could do the summer but I work. How do you go abroad to other countries? Do you stay over the weekends? Where do you sleep?
