UMass Hidden Gem: Rausch Mineral Gallery in the Morrill Science Center is definitely a hidden gem on campus (pun intended). Its a really great place to stop by between classes, or to go see with friends. There are tons of cool minerals, rocks, and fossils to look at!

When I was looking at colleges, I did not have a complete picture of what I wanted. I looked at all types of schools--big, small, domestic, international, liberal arts, and STEM. The only thing I knew was that I wanted a school that showed how they really cared about their students and I found that at UMass. From the majors offered, the student clubs to join, and the events UMass organizations put on, I felt that UMass truly cared about the success of their students. UMass has become my home away from home. Go UMass!
