I am currently. HAD school today but they decided to cancel classes from 11AM on at checks watch 10AM that same day, because of the weather. If only there was some way to be able to see a day into the future to know what the weather will be! Just one example of how broken down this school is :)

From what I've seen, anyone with good things to say about the school went there years ago. Have had a professor admit to me that the school has gone super downhill since COVID hit. Partially due to COVID, but also many institutional things that just happened to occur around that time.

>but I don't know if I need to study and how much time to dedicate to it.

This right here is why we have drivers running over people.

You need to first download the Driver's Manual and read it from the first letter to the last letter. Then go back to the beginning and do it again. Then close it and have someone quiz you. If you fail, go back to step 1.

Assuming you put in the work, you're going to get a perfectly fine education at either. But what kind of college experience do you want? UMass is going to give you the more typical college experience. Going to college downtown you don't get the campus experience, but you're right in the middle of everything and may end up not getting as involved in college-specific activities because you have so many other options.

Surprise.

A state party structure that wholesale endorsed Trump's ponzi scheme, con-man, corrupt attitude ends up behaving the same way. They won't be the last state org with similar results.

Shocked Pikachu face 🙂.

You lay down with the dogs, you get fleas.

Depending on the insurance you have Therapy Matcher is a really helpful referral service - you put in your demographics/insurance and what you are looking for and volunteer social workers will send you a list of therapists who might be a good fit for you. https://therapymatcher.org

It's more specific than psychology today which can be pretty hit or miss.

If you are an in-state resident, there would be absolutely no reason to choose Suffolk over UMB.

You will receive the same caliber of education, for a fraction of the cost. Suffolk's Law School is great, but that's their only redeeming quality. The undergraduate college is basically an amusement park for incredibly wealthy international students who didn't have the grades to get into BU or Northeastern.
