[Amherst, MA]

I'm also going to be at UMass Amherst in the fall! It seems like cost of living would be pretty good, I have heard good things about living in Amherst and Northampton but also that they may be more expensive than surrounding neighborhoods. I'm also wondering if I will be able to bike commute or if a car makes more sense. I went to a bar called High Horse when I was visiting and it was fun!

I officially submitted all of my decisions today! Most of the emails I got in response to my rejections were very warm, but one professor just wrote "I hope this is a good decision for you." That kind of cemented my feeling that I made the right choice in turning them down. I mean . . . that's a bit passive aggressive, right?

I also officially submitted my decisions today! It is a relief to decide, but also hard not to second guess it haha. I had warm responses too. Yes, that sounds a bit passive aggressive so maybe good you didn't go there.
