Hi! My name's Kate, and Welcome to UMass Amherst
Can’t wait to show you around UMass! Welcome to the official Campus Reel tour of UMass Amherst!Haigis Mall and buses
Haigis Mall is where a lot of buses pick you up to go into Amherst Center, Northampton, and other places. If you take courses at the other colleges (hear more about that in this video) you will take the bus from here unless you have a car.If you're looking for jobs/internships GO to Goodell
Goodell is the career services building. A lot of people are intimidated to go in here because getting a job after school freaks a lot of people out! But they have such great resources. I have gone here multiple times to get my resume edited, to get help writing a cover letter, or to find a summer internship.Check out Katie and Sydney's sophomore dorm MacKimmie!
Katie and Sydney are 2 of my best friends in Chi Omega. They are sophomores that live in MacKimmie which is a residential dorm on campus in the Southwest area. All on campus rooms come with 2 bed frames which you can adjust, 2 mattresses, 2 desks and 2 chairs. Each person has their own closet.
