Technology
We’re completely wired, and it has nothing to do with the amount of coffee you can get on campus.
UMass Amherst has an extensive computer network. The campus computing center is one of the largest university-based systems in the Northeast; Internet and e-mail access is available from campus terminals, including each residence hall; and if you have your own computer, access is available in your room. In fact, with an extensive wireless network, you can stay connected almost anywhere on campus. UMass Students get email accounts, space for a personal website, anti-virus software, and consulting from the staff at the Office of Information Technologies.
Another student perk: You will be eligible for discounted prices on software and hardware through the University Store.
Technology is also having a major impact on class time at UMass Amherst. From the arts to the sciences, the faculty is constantly adding new technologies to their teaching methods, helping students better connect to their courses and get the most out of their education. The UMass Amherst Library is also on the cutting edge of information technology, connecting you to extensive resources with the click of a finger.
