[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the hidden gem of all hidden gems - better education and experience than UMD - I had one twin attend each and my view is based on almost scientific-level data lol[/quote]

Every time a non-elite school gets mentioned on DCUM some parent claims that it's a "hidden gem."  I guess it's good that people are happy with their school choices, but people also seem desperate to justify them (I guess like with all the other choices we make).[/quote]

I consider it a hidden gem based on my DC’s experience.  I always thought about UMass as just another state school, but my DC has been afforded really incredible research and internship opportunities at UMass that would be challenging to get at other schools (to include Ivies).  UMass has built relationships worldwide and uses its network to connects its students.  At least until the Trump administration came along, it received tons of research funding and was doing really good work.  It keeps its costs down by growing its own or locally sourcing its food.  There are just a lot of good things to say about it!  My other DC, on the other had, who is at a different (but maybe more well-regarded and expensive) public, has had a $h!t experience.  I am completely impressed with UMass![/quote]
