[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any state school is fine, OP.  But you will not get in state tuition (obviously).  Some are better than others.  [b]UMass, by virtue of it being in Mass, will come across nicely. [/b] First hand, I can tell you that it is a party school.  It is in the middle nowhere. Consider the location of your candidate schools.  if they are in the middle of nowhere, you may want to reconsider, depending on your childs demeanor.   [/quote]

This is a nonsensical statement.  A school located in Massachusetts is not [i]per se[/i] good by virtue of its location.  That's just ridiculous.[/quote]Different poster here - the advantage of UMass-Amherst is that students can take classes at any of the 5 colleges in that area, including Amherst. However, the question is whether the student actually gets off their duff and makes an effort to seek these other classes out.[/quote]

Yes, I know that.  I'm from Mass. too and many of my HS friends went to UMass Amherst.

PP didn't talk about the five-college class options - she said specifically, [i]UMass, by virtue of it being in Mass, will come across nicely. [/i]  "Come across nicely"?  What does this even MEAN?  That it has prestige because it's in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts?

Nonsensical.[/quote]
