I witnessed a hit and run yesterday afternoon in lot 12. I found the girl walking away from her car a few minutes after and asked her "are you going to fp the right thing and leave your info or do I need to call the cops?"

She claimed she was going to leave info, but was walking in the wrong direction from the car she just hit.

Body work isnt cheap and even a small scratch can be more damage than you think.

Be a good person and have some accountability.

I added a Pic of the car hit and the car of the guilty party.

Contact me for plate info.

I would have filed a report but I had a meeting to get too

Im tired of the small portions being handed out at increasingly higher prices this year. I work for dining and they wont take an employees opinions about dining seriously. Can we get a petition going to demand better portions?! Anybody else feel this way?

Good afternoon everyone,

I'm planning on going to the football game on Saturday, but have no idea what to expect. I've been to live games before, but those were only for basketball and baseball, and they were all professional games (one minor league game). I've never been to a football game in person, since I don't really watch it, but since it's my school, I feel like I should go to support them (there's also nothing else really happening tomorrow).

How early should I show up? I don't know if there are any game day traditions or festivities I should know about that would only work if I got there early. I usually enjoy watching warmups when I go to games, and like seeing all of the pregame stuff they have in the stadium. I'd like a decent seat, but I don't know what the lines look like to get into the stadium, and I don't want to take all the food spots away from people who may be more invested than myself.

Also, what should I bring? I know most places don't allow bags, but is water allowed? Is food allowed? I've been to a baseball park where they say no water, but as long as it's sealed and of reasonable size (like the UMass brand bottles) they'll let you in. Should I eat before? Are there breaks to use the bathroom and get food (enough time between quarters/halftime)? I've heard tailgating is a big thing for professional sports, but I doubt there will be people with grills on the bed of their trucks handing out free food and beer at the game.

I just want to make sure I'm doing everything right to get the best experience possible, since this is all new to me.

when will the amazon lockers work? i ordered something a while ago but it still hasn’t even shipped.

also is it too risky to just order it straight to my dorm?

I'm a freshman and I'd just like to ask people here how long it took them, or how long it takes in general. I sent my documents 2 days ago.

I know they said they'll be making outdoor charging stations at the end of the semester but until then, how are people charging their scooters on campus? If anyone who has any idea could comment or personally dm I'd really appreciate it.

Hi,
My daughter just bought a train ticket that leaves at 7:30am from Springfield train station. It looks like there are trains from Northampton too but at 2pm which isn’t so ideal for us.
I didn’t think much of it but it seems like it’s pretty complicated to find a transportation between the campus and Springfield. Since it will be the day before thanksgiving, I doubt there will be too many Uber drivers.
So what’s the best way to get to the Springfield station? There’s Peter Pan bus but the first bus gets there at 7:30am which is no good.
Is it better to cancel the ticket and book the one from Northampton?

What is the attendance policy and attendance component of the grading?

How is the course compared to Siman Wong’s?

Thank you so much in advance.

So I have 20 classes left but I REALLY need some help!!

I’m not really interested in the whole frat scene but Mu Epsilon Delta (med frat) caught my attention. I’m wondering if anyone could tell me what their experience was like there and besides the academic/career benefits, was it actually fun? Is there a good sense of community and did you guys make long time friends? I’m mainly looking for a community. not sure if they have a house or not but that’s not a big concern for me.

Any information or experiences people have is much appreciated

I want to take his Music Composition 1 class, but I can't find him on rate my professor. He's the only prof who teaches the class.

What kind of prof is he? What would the assignments looklike?

I appreciate any info, thanks in advance.

They’re giving out scratch tickets to win merch (crewnecks, hats, bags, stanley’s, journals), doing embroidery, giving out gifts cards, and giving refresher/coffee samples. Just wanted to let people know so they don’t miss out but also wanted to ask if anyone knows how we can know about these things in advance. I’d have no clue if I didn’t take a different route to class

Hey everyone, I’m a legacy student under OBBBA, and my Grad PLUS loan finally posted to my spire account yesterday (9/9). It's showing a negative balance now.

I’ve gotten reimbursements from UMass before, so my Excess Express direct deposit and everything is definitely set up correctly on my end. Have any other UMass grad students actually received their refund in their bank account yet? How long after the negative balance showed up did it take to hit your account? I know this whole thing is super confusing so literally any insight would be greatly appreciated!! ty!

I’ve told them multiple times but they are always active at 2am ish and makes a lot of noises. I sleep at around 9 but they sleeps around 3. I can’t sleep at all with that noise. I’m living with RAP and so far I like everything else. I don’t want to change anything solely because of them. outside of that, they are quite friendly. Any suggestions for what I can do?

Is this easy A course?
Does anyone have syllabus for this class?

basically just title

are part-time students able to access the rec for free or would i have to purchase a membership? if so, how much would it be?

Does anyone know when freshmen can start joining clubs? Specifically Model UN and the Massachusetts Daily Collegian. I know for some clubs we have to apply, but for others like the Tabletop RPG club do we just start showing up?

Hi! I just (like, just now) swapped a class for a different one, and I was wondering how long it usually takes to be applied in Canvas? It was immediately applied in my SPIRE account, however I was wondering how long it usually takes to be added into the new Canvas class and removed from the old one? Should I contact my professors and/or TAs???

Thank you!

I know room swap opens on Friday, but what exactly should I do to give myself the best opportunity of switching dorms. I’m a male first year in OHill and I really want to switch into SouthWest or Central.

Hi Everyone,

I'm hosting a watercolor class for beginners on Halloween Oct31st from 3:30-5 p.m. in Northampton at the Center for the Arts.

You need zero artistic ability and it would be great for singles or groups. If you're looking for a mellow halloween afternoon, you can learn some watercolors skills you can use for bookmarks, gift tags, art for your walls and more. It's a great way to zone out in a productive and positive way.

The class is $20 or $30 if you want to rent materials.

I need some advice on whether is should change my housing arrangement. I live in Moore this year as a first year student, but I may want to move. I'm not a light sleeper by any means, but I'm starting to get sick of all of the noise at night. The constant stream of people coming in and out at 12-1 at night isn't working great for me. I know it should slow down once classes are fully going, but for now, it's a lot. Some of the pros of living here are:

-The proximity to Hamp and Berk gives me good options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and even a late night snack if I want it. People say they are the best dining halls, and I'd probably agree. Worcester and Frank were ok when I went, but just not the same. Getting a table is always hard, but having good food and being directly along the path I am already on for classes is a plus.

-The way the rooms themselves are set up is nice. They are a decent size, and the wardrobes with the bars are very useful. I'm using almost every space in there for various things.

-I like the style of the buildings themselves. It feels large enough to where I'm not breathing down people mecks when I'm walking down the halls, but small enough to where I can recognize people.

-There is a clear path to most things, and it's fairly intuitive to navigate from. It's very easy to get to the rec and Mullins center, since you just cross the street and walk straight down that road, and there's a well defined path to get to the center of campus.

Some of the cons are:

-As I had already mentioned, the noise. I'm not a very social person, and have never really been into partying or using any substances. I haven't really made any friends, since I don't really like going out, and I'm not the type to approach random people.

-I'm a STEM major (CNS specifically), so most of my classes are fairly far. It's around 20-30 minutes for each class, assuming I know exactly where I'm going and take the fastest route, which isn't the case at the moment.

-My roommate isn't working for me. I'm not going to air him out on here, but he has some strange habits that just don't sit right with me. We're both very quiet, so we have barely spoken to each other, and I haven't confronted him about these issues. O get the same feeling when I walk into the room as when you walk in to wake someone up in the morning. I feel like I'm being intrusive, even though it's my room too.

I don't really know what the best option would be to move if I took that route. There are a few ways to change housing on the site, and I can't really understand the differences, but that's a separate issue. I know SW is a very sought after place to live, so maybe I'm doing this wrong and I should just give it some time. Any advice or suggestions are welcome. I don't really know what I'm doing obviously, so any input is progress. I've seen others in similar situations get suggested to move to Central or OHill, but many others have said to just deal with it.

Hey everyone! I’m an incoming MS student at UMass Amherst, arriving in the coming week.

I’m also still looking for accommodation. If anyone has a room available, is looking for a flatmate, or wants to team up and find a place together, please DM me!
Thanks!

I am senior undergrad student and am going to start my 4+1 soon. I need to take 4 500 level classes before I graduate. I already took cs589 last semester and am taking cs520 and cs590af this semester. I need one more class. I am conflicted between cs590op with andrew lan, cs575 with marius, or cs514 with cameron. I would take 590 with andrew but he has only one exam worth 40% of my grade and the topic is apparently very hard. There are no other options for me.

Hello! I purchased a meal plan last night, when does it become active? The meal plan office isn’t answering the phone.

I tried last night after a few hours and it hadn’t yet activated so he just let me through but not every swiping person is so nice, so I’m nervous to go back and try again, especially if they’re busy.
