Questions from Possible Transfer Student

I’m thinking of transferring to UMass Amherst as a CS major. I’m really worried about making the decision and I’d love to hear more about the school from yall. (Anyone can answer to applicable questions)

How hard do the bigger class sizes make it to build relationships with professors?

Is it harder to get or apply to internships due to the far location? (ex. in person interviews?)

How many girls are in your CS classes? (I’m like one of 3 girls in my CS classes at my school)

Are people generally open to making friends / becoming close friends? Are people cliquey? How easy is it to make friends?

How hard is it to find a private study room / spot?

Have you encountered any struggles with Amherst’s far location?

Does the large alumni network help at all with internships etc?

Anything helps please 🙏🏼
