College question?

I live in Massachsetts and have noticed that UMASS has different locations. For example, umass-lowell, umass-dartmouth, umass-amhurst, umass-boston. But, all of the schools belong to different sports conferences. Umass-amhurst plays in division I, but the others do not. Are they all UMASS? If so, then how can Umass – amhurst be called the Minutemen, but umass-dartmouth is the Crossiers. Is it all Umass? I am confused.

Hey there!

I go to UMASS!! Wooo!!! (Sorry got carried away)

UMass Amerst was the first UMass, and then others got added into the system. So they are all techniquely different schools, but in the same system. Like, UMass Dartmouth USED to me Southeastern Massachusetts University before they went under. I believe they were always the corsairs, though. UMass Boston used to be Boston State College, etcetera, etcetera. They are all their own entities, but are owned by the same people, per se.

Amherst just has a better sports team than the others, though.

I’m so happy there is a UMass question here, I love my school.
