People need to hear the truth about the school. It’s a good school and has good education and the professors are very intelligent. but campus is DEAD. This is a commuter school. It’s not your typical college campus. A large majority of the students go to class and then commute home after. I’m here as a transfer student junior in 2022. It’s HARD to meet people. There aren’t a lot of clubs and the ones that exist are not active much. You’re very close to the JFK/UMass train line which has its benefits because you can go to the city. But that isn’t very fun without friends. I don’t care how introverted you are and how much you say you want a quiet campus, you’re going to go crazy here. I thought I would be okay because I’m introverted. I had 2 friends in high school, and this place has been extremely isolating. I came in as a junior so everyone already knew each other. I didn’t get the benefit of living in the dorms with others and meeting people. I live off campus now in an apartment. I’m not trying to turn anyone away, just want you to know the truth before you make a decision you regret like I did. I 100% regret picking this school. It feels like a continuation of high school. It’s not fun because there’s no campus life. If you’re looking for something more traditional this is NOT the place to be. I was so excited for college because I wanted to meet new people and be more outgoing, and UMB makes it hard. If you pick this school, I hope you like it. I hope you have a good experience, but you need to know what you’re getting yourself into before you start. The sports teams hang together, which can be helpful with making friends, but I’m not an athlete so I don’t know for sure. Also the catwalk in this video has since been torn down so the buildings aren’t connected anymore and most of the campus is under construction
