Our First Student Post: Welcome!

Welcome!

Just like everybody else, I researched a lot before starting the MS-Finance at UMass Boston in Fall 2012. It was no small decision. It was going to decide my journey for the rest of my life. In hindsight, it was the right decision; I was anxiously looking for more information. I wanted to know about the College, faculty, students, placements, food, city life and so many other things. I wanted to know more and more.

I felt it would be great if I could hear from the students and alumni about their experiences. I know everyone wishes the same. But now the wish has come true – we are starting a student run blog with everything students want to know. This blog will not only be about the students, but also about alumni. Since I started my journey at UMass Boston, I have met many great students from all around that world. I met students from Lebanon, South Korea, China, Libya, Columbia, Germany and of course from the US. Many of them graduated, but I still meet them during alumni events and online. Many of them expressed their strong desire to reconnect with their alma mater. They wanted to know about current development at the College of Management, and they wanted to share their experiences. This blog is also about them.

I welcome everyone to the blog and expect your participation.
