I'm currently an engineering student at Umass-Lowell and I commute. I'd like to live at school but I find Umass-Lowell to be kind of depressing and I don't really like it there.
What I'm asking is if Umass-Amherst is a suitable school for a quiet, introverted student like me?? I've heard wild stories about the place and people calling it "zoo"-mass. I'd like to get some feedback from students with experience there and I'd like to know if there are lots of people there with personalities like mine??

Although it's been a LONG time since my Zoo-Mass days (B.A., 1978), I think a big school like UMass offers something for everyone. Sure, there are plenty of opportunities for partiers and slackers to waste Daddy's money, but serious students can always find like-minded friends, and the Engineering Department would be a good place to find them, I'd say!
There are plenty of places to live off-campus as well, and I think it's a much quieter atmosphere, with more older students. It's a large, diverse group of people. I loved it there and I think you could find your niche as well.
