Location with Dominik

Transcript

Here’s Dom, who chose UMass Dartmouth, because of its prime location. Coming from outta state, Dominik was drawn to the South Coast area. Dartmouth is the ideal New England town and is in close proximity to cities like Providence and Boston. Dom is gonna share why UMass D is the perfect destination and highlight the campus atmosphere and activities available on and off campus. You’re up, Dom.

– Thanks, Alex. What’s going on everyone? So, when choosing a college, there were two things most important to me. One was the location and two was studying at a highly ranked business program. I wanted to score far enough to be independent, but close enough to visit home. I found both those things here at UMass Dartmouth. I love this campus. Going to the gym, meeting up with friends and forming connections with classmates are major highlights. Bonding over our shared goal of getting better every day is something that truly excites me. From rooting for the Corsairs at a game to checking out a play, there’s always something to do inside Ring Road. The university hosts lots of different events. One of my favorites is our Mental Health and Wellness Week, where there are activities focused on students, taking the time to relax and have fun. At UMass Dartmouth, there’s so much to do off campus too, whether it’s hitting the local shops or restaurants, it’s all just a short drive away or campus shuttle ride if you do not have a car. Downtown New Bedford has a vibrant art scene and if you’re into the beach, there are awesome spots nearby to soak up the coastal vibe. Plus UMass Dartmouth is only 30 minutes from Providence and only an hour from Boston, making it easy to explore even more. I knew I was going to love it here, but I didn’t expect to be involved in so much or to make the friends I did. Talking to alumni and getting their positive feedback and seeing where they’re headed in their careers has inspired me towards my dream. That’s it from my story, guys. Giving it back to you, Alex.

– Thank you, Dom, for giving us a glimpse into what makes UMass Dartmouth location so special. It sounds like UMass D really does offer the best of both worlds with the bustling South coast community and nearby cities. We’re excited to see where your journey takes you next. Thanks again.
