About

The University of Massachusetts was founded in 1863 under the Morrill Land-Grant Acts. The University began life in 1863 as the Massachusetts Agricultural College, with the curriculum consisting of modern farming, science, technical courses, and a smattering of the liberal arts.

UMass Amherst, situated in Amherst, Massachusetts, sits on nearly 1,450 acres in the scenic Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts. The university has 5 campuses: the University of Amherst, the University of Massachusetts Boston, the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, the University of Massachusetts Lowell, and the Massachusetts Medical School.

My counselor was Kunjal. I must appreciate her for all her efforts to make my case strong, guiding me, and answering all my silly questions. She prepared my case way before time and was supportive and available at any time. Grateful and glad I chose iSchoolConnect.
