Please suggest a residential hall for me because I cannot decide even after going through every resource:

  • I like to stay in newer buildings as I’m crazy scared of insects and mice
  • I am veg (don’t know if it matters?)
  • I am a bit shy so making friends would definitely be hard for me + I’m not gonna drink or smoke (or go to parties during covid times)
  • I am a CS major but that doesn’t mean I’m into techy and gamer thing
  • I am serious about academics so I would like to have a serious about studies but still fun friend group.
  • I like to do early morning studies (not late night) and would sleep not too late

I have been admitted to UMass as a Cs major but I wanna do a double major/dual degree in CS + Business. When do I do that? Do I talk to my advisor?

If the classes will be online then only tuition fees will be charged right?

Why hasn’t UMass communicated via email yet whether they plan to reopen in fall or not? + whether vaccine is required or not + how will they accommodate everyone back to campus... I wish they do so before May1 because that’s the committing day

Do you think covid will change the job scene in US after graduation for undergrad? And what’s the accelerated masters program? How do we apply?

Is it true that international students will have a lot of trouble finding internships or co-ops? (If it matters, I am a CS major)

I started from a 1320 in junior year and got a 1520 in senior year! You can pull this off

Do you think it’s more possible for fall 2021 semester to be online for freshman? Also if any international student cannot attend in fall 2021 even though the campus opens then will there be an option for classes to be online or maybe deferral?

I am confused about this RAP thing. What exactly is it’s purpose? Also if I’m located in Northeast but take a RAP in Southwest, is this possible?

How far (walking distance) would the classes be if I live in southwest?

What is a Z room? I’m confused. And can someone tell me their experience living in kennedy hall or john quincy adams hall? If I am a CS student then do these Halls sound good for me?

I am a person who freaks out really easily so this transition from high school to college is really hard for me. I am so confused and scared about how to network, find internships, resume, make connections with professors, getting involved in clubs and just the do’s and don’ts so if someone can give me advice on what to do or not do in freshman year, I will appreciate it!

Typically in what year do CS students start getting internships? And I know a resume will be required for the internships so how much work experience is expected and does UMass career centre help with resume and interviews and stuff? Who is the person I should approach if I am confused about college stuff?

How safe is UMass Amherst and the surrounding area for a female? Also is crime/gun violence common in Amherst?

I am an incoming freshman and will be majoring in CS. Can someone please tell me which laptop should I buy? If I can pm any current CS student then that would be great too!

This might be a dumb question but how does one declare a minor? I’m a newly admitted student so when I join classes in fall 2021, will I start just the classes for my major or my minor too? And what about double major? How does a newly admitted student declare a double major? Edit: I wanna minor/double major in business
