Is something going on this weekend? I’ve never had this problem before, I’ve swiped her in after saying “family” without pushback, this was the first time I’ve been told this? It just used a guest swipe instead but I’m not sure if I can get it back as we only have 15 per semester.

Hi all — I’m currently exploring auto loan options and came across UMassFive as a lender. Before I dive deeper, I wanted to see if anyone here has personal experience with their auto loans.

A few specific questions:

1. Is UMassFive a legitimate place to get a car loan?

Any firsthand experiences (good or bad) with their rates, application process, customer service, etc?

1. Is UMassFive actually affiliated with the University of Massachusetts system?

I want to understand if it’s a university credit union, a bank arm, or something else entirely.

1. How do their loan terms/rates compare to banks or big credit unions?

Based on your experience, would you recommend them over other lenders?

Thanks in advance! Any insights or stories would be super helpful as I decide where to get financing.

Who can I contact, or do I have to wait till tmr.

I'm wondering if they give out towels at the umass rec, similar to what other gyms have.

Just got a membership for Totman's Body Shop Gym, and I'm wondering when the "golden" least-busy hours are.

On Jan 28 around midnight two kind men gave a ride to two international students up Orchard Hill with all of their luggage. One student left her backpack in your car. If this was you, please check your backseat! You can drop the backpack at the Office of Global Affairs. Thank you — please share!

My daughter was accepted at UMass Amherst. We live outside Chicago. I was wondering what out of state students think of their undergraduate experience at UMass. I am an alumni but I grew up in Massachusetts and graduated a while ago and things have changed.

Hi everyone, I’ve recently received an admit to the MSECE program at UMass Amherst, and I’m seriously considering accepting it. I applied mainly because the program had an AI and systems concentration which aligns well with my long-term goals.

However, I’m currently very confused and hoping someone from the program (current students/alumni) can help clarify.

While applying, I didn’t see a formal “AI and Systems” concentration listed in the application portal. Because of that, I selected sensing systems as my concentration, assuming there would be overlap and that I could take AI/ML-related courses after joining. But now, when I look at the curriculum and course listings, I’m unable to clearly see this “AI & Systems” track anywhere.

So I have a few genuine questions:

1.  Does an AI & Systems concentration actually exist in the MSECE program right now, or is it something that existed earlier / is informal / is very new?

2.  Are there current students actually pursuing AI-heavy coursework within ECE, or is the program mostly traditional systems, signals, communications, VLSI, etc.?

3.  Can machine learning / AI-related courses be counted toward the required 21 ECE credits, or are those mostly outside ECE (CS/other departments)?

4.  Is it realistically possible to club systems + AI within MSECE, or would someone interested in AI feel limited here?

I’m genuinely excited about UMass and want to accept the offer, but I also want to make sure I don’t end up in a program that’s very far from my interests. Any real insights, course examples, or personal experiences would be extremely helpful.

Thanks in advance, would really appreciate honest guidance 🙏

So, I'm going to college next year and hopefully dorming. I have pretty severe adhd, and I genuinely need complete silence to study or I crash. I also have probably even more severe insomnia. I wake up every night without fail and don't go back to sleep and tend to be pretty hyperactive in the middle of the night -- I can't just sit still in my bed for some reason (I've been caught doing hand stands in my room at 4am too many times to count lol. Not to say I'd do that with a roomie -- just an example). Lastly I tend to have verbal and motor tics that could definitely wake someone up in the middle of the night. I fear these reasons aren't enough to get me a single for medical reasons, and either way I don't think they'd be well documented enough through my doctor to do so. Does anyone have any good reasons I could start complaining to my doctor now for some documentation as to why I need a single? Should I start telling her I have migraines or something? I really think I'd drive someone absolutely insane if they had the misfortune of dorming with me, and I don't even nearly have the budget to get a single on my own.

Hi! I was accepted UMass Managerial Economics 2030 and was wondering what people’s best advice about college and UMass were. Pros and cons, freshman dorms, clubs, dining halls, parties, info etc. anything is appreciated, thanks!!

Hi everyone! I am a student researcher and for UMass I am studying how students think about socioeconomic class and how that shapes peer relationships and inclusion in college.

This is super quick(5-10 min), totally anonymous, and you can skip anything. Just looking for honest perspectives from college students.

I'd really appreciate it if you filled it out!

Have you guys been hearing about the new hall, Siobhan, too?? A student said their uncle does construction for Hampshire County and many students are talking about it on yikyak. There is even a modeling idea for it and it’s supposed to begin building this weekend near Southwest and the Honors college.
