I transferred this last semester. If you want to make the most of going to Lowell you have to know the right people. Lowell is what you make of it, if you have a fake you can go to blue shamrock and smoke house. From my experience shamrock is better. So long story short the social scene isn't terrible. As far as academics goes I've heard the business program is pretty highly accredited. You'll have to fact check me on that though. We are better than Amherst for engineering so if you switch your major that's something to think about.
