Spring 2020 will be a semester I will remember for the rest of my life. From leaving the University of Massachusetts Amherst campus, shifting to remote learning, not being able to see my friends, to making my childhood room my new workspace, this semester has been a journey. I am so happy that it is almost over; it almost does not even feel real.

Finding a college with both the right program and a good location can be hard to come by, but the University of Massachusetts was a perfect fit for KC Ruiz. A Springfield, Mass., native, she wanted a school close enough to home where she could see her family, but far enough to maintain her independence. She also wanted a school that would allow her to explore her interest in art history. UMass Amherst was just the place!
