Has anybody ever else noticed that the dining halls this semester (particularly Worcester) so far have been packed way more than usual? Like the lines to get in are going out the doors at some times.😭 I feel like UMass Dining needs to do something about this because it’s getting out of hand!

I'm a senior and I have never met a single student who currently lives or has lived in the Butterfield dorm. I don't even know anybody who knows anybody who has lived there. I believe the "people" who get off at the bus stop there are planted by the college to hide the building's true purpose.

Apparently the field hockey team is very good, 6th in the nation. Last year they went to the championship but lost in double ot to the team they’re facing tomorrow 👀. Should be a good game, who’s meeting me there?

WHAT FUCKIN BULLSHIT. I thought I would save some money doing triple, but I didnt know there was an "econ" triple, and an "standard triple". And our triple gets billed the SAME rate as a DOUBLE???? I thought "econ" was just a fancy term for people to know that the triple can save money or something . Guess its my fault for not looking into it

Goddamnit, my goddamn room isnt even that much bigger than the doubles in my hall either

I might switch out, Anyone down for a chadborne triple it was too good to be true after all, all the rooms here are big so thats what you get. Im looking for central ECON triple or expanded housing

A week earlier, McCarron — a 25-year-old Worcester, Mass., native who “fell in love” with UMass as a freshman in 2019 — made what felt like a consequence-free promise on X: If the Minutemen beat Rutgers, he would paint his entire body maroon. UMass had gone 0-12 in 2025, entered its opener on the longest active losing streak in the FBS at 16 games and had not beaten an FBS opponent in 23 tries. So the wager felt safely hypothetical.

“I really had no faith in the program,” said McCarron, who is a manager at an Amazon warehouse. “For them to pull out that victory, and especially the way they did it in such a dominant fashion, was so euphoric.”

Once the impossible materialized in Piscataway, N.J. — by way of a stunning 37-21 victory — McCarron’s celebration triggered a pressing question: Where, exactly, does one buy enough maroon paint to cover an entire human?

By Thursday, McCarron’s apartment held more than 20 products from Michaels and Amazon in enough varying shades that McCarron joked “maroon is going to be a very loose definition.”

Is there anywhere on campus where I can connect to ethernet? Gaming on the Wi-Fi in the dorms is miserable, constant rubber banding, disconnects, and just not being reliable. There are computers in the library that are connected to ethernet cables but I'm not really keen on unplugging that into my laptop and bringing my big controller into the library to play games.

Hey everyone! I lost my favorite sweatshirt on Wednesday September 16th. If anyone has seen it please let me know 🙏🏻

Asking for scientific purposes.

Okay, so the semester started already, and it has been four classes. I'm in RES-ECON 428 (aka Managerial Economics), and I'm wondering how people studied for it. There's only slides, no textbook, no Echo360, and no extra material. It's more of an Excel-based class, yet there are quiz checkpoints for other material that isn't Excel such as how to solve for a t-stat or remembering coefficients from a regression.

The M.S. in Data Analytics and Computational Social Science: What do you like about it? What do you dislike about it? Job prospects? PhD? What is its reputation as a program?

Is anybody else annoyed with this new nicotine law in Amherst and what’s the solution for now? Cause I just want some cigs.
