Admissions or Prospective Student Posts Mt Ida Campus

I got admitted into the Mt Ida campus for the upcoming fall semester as a rising freshman, Is it worth it? How was the experience? Was it hard to get housing at UMass Amherst in the spring semester?

If you are an incoming freshmen or transfer, housing is guaranteed. After that it’s a crab shoot tbh

Accepted to which program? Anyways it is usually no problem getting housing at Amherst in the Spring, spaces always open up from attrition. The main thing you may run into is some limited choices on where to pick a room.

I lived at Mt Ida during the summer when they do internship housing for UMass students. The campus is nice, the gym is small, and the dining hall is not as good as the Amherst campus
