156 Martin W. AllenComputer ScienceThe current level of mandatory fees is such that it becomes prohibitive at higher credit loads. The escalation of fees along with credits, as in the curriculum fee, encourages--or even forces--graduate students to take reduced course loads, increasing the time spent in graduate school. This is undesirable in itself, and a subject on which I often caution prospective students to UMass. Such considerations should not enter into a student's decision to attend the University; unfortunately, I know that this is not the case.
157 George AvruninMathematics and Statistics
158 Brian J. TaylorComputer ScienceThe high fees and low salary that I, as a graduate student, receive, has caused me several times to think about leaving UMass. I might still do so as I near completion of my Master's as I'd be more than happy to leave the high cost of this state and go finish my PhD where it is more affordable. I attended graduate school once before, over 7 years ago, and during that time made more money at a lower tiered public institution than I do here. I find it laughable that the UMass administration considers everything acceptable.

167 Sangeeta KamatEducation EPRAThese fees are against the interests of students, faculty and the wider academic community.

169 Roberto OlivaresComputer ScienceThe fees are outrageous. If I had known my actual salary (with fees accounted for) in my offer letter was this low, and the rents in Amherst this high, I would have seriously reconsidered UMass.
