Not gonna lie that one of the nicest dorms I’ve ever seen, specially with how big the closet is

[@amytse1]

Love this. Love the friendship bond. Thank you so much for this tour. Hope my daughter can go here in a couple of years. Fingers and toes crossed.

[@joyceben2201]

hi! could you make a video where you review amherst from your perspective? ex: in terms of academics, housing, dining, social life, partying culture (or lack of), what you like/don't like about amherst. it would be really helpful, thanks!!!!

[@k.ellymoon]

I'll try to post one as soon as possible! I'm also going to try and host a Zoom meeting on Friday May 1st from 5:00 pm EST to 6:00 pm EST if you want to ask questions :)

[@smspr222]

Navie & Sara's room was where my (*fave*) RC lived my freshman year ('14-'15), so I've weirdly spent many hours lying on that floor and complaining! This was a nice trip down memory lane!

[@k.ellymoon]

ohh that's awesome! thank you for watching :)

[@maureenm5779]

Thank you so much for these videos! My daughter is trying to decide between Amherst and another school but without being able to visit for accepted student days, your videos are pretty much our only way to see things like this.

[@k.ellymoon]

I'm so glad that my videos could be of some help to accepted students!

[@maureenm5779]

kelly moon would you be willing to answer questions we might have about life at Amherst?

[@k.ellymoon]

@@maureenm5779 I would love to! I will answer to the best of my abilities.

[@maureenm5779]

@@k.ellymoon How easy is it to find a social group? Did you meet your friends at orientation, in class or online? How stressed are students outside of testing weeks?

[@k.ellymoon]

@@maureenm5779 I would say that it is relatively easy to find a social group since you spend so much time with your orientation group during the first week. You might not get close to everyone within the group, but I met one of my closest friends from my orientation group. Furthermore, during orientation week there are many opportunities to interact with other people so that getting to know people is much easier. I met most of my friends at orientation. From my personal experience, making friends in class is harder because everyone is so focused it is hard to make side conversations. In fact, most friends are made through social events that occur throughout the year. The amount of stress depends on the classes that you take. As a STEM student I have readings, labs, and problems-sets that are due every week so I have to be able to manage my time. For my humanities classes there are readings that are more spaced out and the classes are more discussion-based in my experience. I would say that outside of testing week as long as I mange my time, I have enough free time to do things that I enjoy and attend club meetings.

[@genesislouise3994]

This is really useful, thank you! It doesn't look like the dorms have much in the way of windows though. 😂

[@k.ellymoon]

HAHA actually i think it depends on the dorm cuz the dormitory that i am living in right now has very tall windows :)

[@lorettalarcon9293]

Hii! I just comitted to Amherst and I am super excited. I would love to have a single dorm, but am unsure how to request one.

[@kaylako7497]

Congratulations on getting in, that's super exciting! I was able to get a single as a first-year through housing accommodations. The process may seem super overwhelming and time-consuming at first, but it's definitely worth a shot! To give you a brief overview of how the process might look, you first have to get the diagnosis form template (www.amherst.edu/offices/student-affairs/accessibility-services/disability-certification-form) and have your current provider fill it out. You'll then want to email your forms to Amherst's accessibility services ([e-mail]) and submit the appropriate health forms on the health portal once it goes live. Lastly, you want to fill out the intake form to make an appointment to discuss why you are requesting housing accommodations and how you think it will benefit you. For more clear and better instructions, I'll link the website! --> www.amherst.edu/offices/student-affairs/accessibility-services/applying-for-an-accommodation Good luck! Don't worry too much! I hope to see you this coming fall :))

Hello. I am going to UMass this Fall for graduate program. I wonder if I can cook if I stay in the dorm?

[@k.ellymoon]

Hi! I don't go to UMass Amherst so I don't really know how the dorms are over there, sorry about that

[@matthewspringer242]

Corner rooms at UMass are the smallest ones lol

[@태이씨]

But... where are windows? That's super uncomfortable

[@k.ellymoon]

there were windows upstairs haha

[@khushimehta8300]

I would like to pursue the pre-med track and how well do you think this college helps with that? I am a rising senior so I am trying to create a college list :))

[@k.ellymoon]

I think that this college has the resources that you need in order to pursue the track. Since we do not have general education requirements there is more room for you to take pre-med required classes as well as your major classes. There are many clubs in that bring in speakers so that you can ask questions about things related to the medical field. We also have a counselor that works to guide you so that you fulfilling all the requirements. Overall I think statistically most Amherst pre-med students are able to attend a medical school. If you have any specific questions please be sure to ask! Hope this helped :)

[@khushimehta8300]

@@k.ellymoon Thank you so much! And what about you personal experience, do you think you feel prepared and would recommend this university?

[@k.ellymoon]

@@khushimehta8300 I personally have not utilized any of the resources that have been offered due to a lack of time and especially because of COVID. However, from what I hear from other people they do think that they feel prepared. If your end goal is medical school I do believe that a smaller college offers you a better chance for interactions with your professors as well as more personal help.
