Review of UMass Dartmouth

A great option if you're going in for engineering,...

A great option if you're going in for engineering, nursing, or law. I'm a CS major and all my professors have been stellar, both fair and challenging. As others have stated the arts department has been underfunded for a while, so I would recommend somewhere else for arts.

The food at the main dining area, the marketplace, is mediocre (could be worse, there's always diy waffles and a panini press). The other dining place that most students go to is Birch and they're actually pretty good. I would recommend getting bronze or no meal plan after your first year. Campus is medium size, not too big not too small. There's a nearby mall and a bus that goes there frequently for free, and an off campus arts building (Star Store) which also has a bus that goes to it for free every hour (if you go in for arts some classes are held there, about a 15-20 minute bus ride over). If you take the bus to the Star Store you can easily walk around New Bedford which can be fun.

All in all I've had a great time here as a Comp Sci major.
