Additional reviews of students:

The students at UMass Boston are dedicated above all else. Each student has their own individual goals and is willing to work towards that goal. Each goal is unique. This diversity of goals is personified by the diversity of the student body. There is no one thought belief or idea that dominates throughout the campus. Each student is friendly and non-competitive which lends itself to a refreshingly wholesome experience.
The overall student body is nice. People generally tend to interact less if they aren't in a student organization or familiar with the other. Of course, this is precisely due to the fact that we are a commuter school. So many times people come for classes then go home with little interaction. Yet, if you really form friendships here they are solid because no one has to interact here unless they please to...
They are very initiative and political, but they put too much emphasis on politics and the physical (race, gender issues, culture). The student body is friendly but i don't think they connect in a comfortable way.

Additional reviews of faculty:

The faculty is super accessible. Most are willing to meet either during or outside of their regular office hours.
The faculty at UMass Boston is among the most educated faculty in the United States and specifically the Boston area. The reason for this is because UMass Boston allows for the extensive academic freedom that elite faculty crave. UMB is not bound by the rigid tradition that so many Boston area schools are. Also this lack of tradition and perceived prestige encourages faculty to be approachable.
Faculty are nore delightful than the students by far.
Interesting. Many have their own lives. Some teach at UMB because they enjoy it, others teach at UMB because they couldn't get tenure at Harvard or some teach at both; all of which we (students) have been told. Mainly, only the honor students are treated very nicely at time for our academic "intellect"... So, some faculty care, and others are simply doing a job until the next best thing pops up...
I found that most of my english teachers are somewhat imposing about their ideas. And although most of the teachers try to be helpful, they tend to give me the most useless advise. The faculty is quite nice despite it. Putting up with it is the hardest part.
