University of Massachusetts – Amherst? What is it like there?

For those of you who go to school there, are you pleased with the school? how are the people, programs, food, on-campus housing? Is it a fairly gay-friendly campus? Are there a lot of things to do on campus? How is the surrounding town?

I know it’s a lot, but any input would be helpful. I’m thinking of applying there. Thanks!

I went to Smith and took a few classes at UMass. The people were great, they have some top-ranked programs, it’s a well-respected school, food wasn’t too bad (and Amherst and nearby Northampton have great restuarants and a Whole Foods you can take the free bus to). I don’t know about the housing, but there was always stuff going on on campus, and they were good at booking concerts. Massachusetts in general is very gay-friendly, and especially in that area with two woman’s colleges right there. I really liked UMass; if I hadn’t gotten into Smith, it was my next choice.
