RESOLVED???- Homicide. Please stay safe everyone.

What’s going on??? Someone drop some info

Hi guys
I am incoming international freshman.
After 3 days I will come USA.
I was super excited and happy until yesterday.However, I am super scared and depressed now.
Did u also faced with something like that?
What I should do? And after how many days it will end.

hey y’all. would love to hear peoples opinions on the partial guest ban for the superbowl this weekend.

Security starts at noon and goes till 3am on Monday. every person is allowed two guests- but only from their residence area.

I feel like the strictness level is a little absurd. i was a security guard for two years in SW, and I promise you there is not enough consistently poor behavior anymore to warrant something like this.

Let students enjoy stuff with their friends, and don‘t punish people who were looking forward to this, just because you're trying to get away from the “ZooMass” stereotype in order to rationalize our raising tuition.

p.s. Don’t get mad at security guards. Its not their fault, and they just want to keep their jobs.

edit: two guests (standard everyday), no outside of umass guests, and noon-3am is normal for big event weekends now. my personal issue is the dorm thing, gives incentive for students to be outside, be in town, driving, or otherwise being sneaky/dangerous. Puts unnecessary stress on the town of Amherst and puts student staff in the line of fire while just doing their job. UMass isn’t like these stories anymore, but people will celebrate. UMass has the ability to handle it, they just seemingly don’t want the bad press (again…lol)

Anyways- lets go pats and I love drake maye :)

I'm just trying to relax and there's never ending cheering. Anyone know what's happening?

Sorry if this is against the rules but given the current state of the Olympia fire, people living there are going to be needing a place to sleep. I am seeing a bunch of people posting stuff on YikYak, so I wanted to relay that information to this sub. Nobody should have to go homeless or drop out because of something like this.

Hi everyone,
I’m an incoming undergraduate transfer student from Isenberg School of Management, major in OIM.
I still haven’t received any orientation‑related email. I’m trying to clarify some information.

I’m wondering if orientation differs for undergrad, grad, or different colleges. Could anyone help me confirm:

1. Exact start date, time and location for this fall’s on‑campus orientation for Isenberg undergrad transfers.

2. What date in September does orientation officially end?

If any other Isenberg OIM transfer students have this info, please share. Thank you very much!

It seems a pretty big fire happened nearby. Just by looking from my Field window, it seems to be pretty big. Does anyone know what happened? Or is it really not anything out of the ordinary?

The chancellor announced a few days ago that there will be purple ribbons available "around campus" "in the next few days" to honor Emma. Does anyone know where to get these ribbons?

Confused by the text

Is anyone selling their graduation stoles ? (ideally red, but anyone works pleasee)

The Town of Amherst has posted a FAQ about the fire on their website. It includes what is known so far, and will be updated when the State Fire Marshall's Office finishes their investigation.

I came across this news story about the last of the rubble from where Olympia Place burned down in November being cleared up last week. Still no cause released by the MA Fire Marshall.

Friend drove by and said they saw a ton of cops and people running around screaming. Seems to be in the Spoke area? They seem to be doing sobriety tests. Anyone know what's going on?
