My overall experience has been extremely positive! It's undergraduate courses are great and the professors that have teached all the courses I have taken at this institution have all taught their courses so well! You can instantly notice that these professors love what they teach and most genuinely care about all of their students and making sure that they learn. Everyone there is so kind and understanding, they really do care about your success and that is what's so great about Umass Dartmouth.
UMass Dartmouth is a decent school. Everything about it is pretty good, if not better than than! The only things that could use any work would be the professors (seeing as some have thick accents, and others aren't the best at their jobs; but a majority are) and the dorms (seeing as there is no cooling in Sophomore dorms, which is a pain). The rest of the school and the experience there is, as said, good! While not a partier, there are a lot of parties that I've seen/heard about. The area around it is one that I've been in for most of my life. There are lots of stores, and a lot of food options if you don't like the food at the Grove (dining hall), Starbucks, Wendy's, the knock-off Subway, the ramen place, or the pizza place! There are many clubs and activities a few of which I've checked out an been part of. All of those experiences have been good. I have always felt safe on campus as well, as you should. Lastly, the most important art of college, the academics..which are amazing!
I am so glad that I decided to go UMass Dartmouth! I am an illustration major with a graphic design minor and I have learned so much from my professors in my programs. I love how I am able to get an art school experience while still being at a state school with many extracurriculars to choose from. I am currently apart of one of the theatre companies on campus called 20 Cent Fiction where I have made a lot of friends and grown a lot as a person. Overall, I highly recommend this school and think that it has a lot to offer.
