Why did you choose UMass Lowell? I had initially planned on going to a significantly more expensive music school, until I realized how excellent a music program UMass Lowell has. The fact that I could graduate with a music degree, and not spend the rest of my life in debt was probably the biggest factor for me.
What is your favorite thing about UMass Lowell? My favorite thing about UMass Lowell is partially the music department, but I also like the idea of a University as opposed to a college or conservatory. I consider myself very fortunate to be going to a school with such a fantastic department, but I am also very glad that I go to school with such a wide variety of other majors as well. I have learned so much and made great friends from UMass students; some of which I met in the music department and a lot of which I met elsewhere.
What is your ideal Saturday? My ideal Saturday is essentially going to sleep Friday night and sleeping through the majority of my Saturday. I would not have anywhere to be, I would not have any deadlines to meet, and my two dogs would be keeping me company.
