UMass Students have a diverse taste in music. Music plays an important role in some people's lifestyle. We thought it would be wise to begin with a profile of the people who make UMass unique - the students. The best way to do that, of course, is to look at how they live. On campus, there five living areas: Northeast, Central, Southwest, Sylvan, and Orchard Hill. ln terms of size, Southwest is undoubtedly the largest area, housing over 5,000 students. Obviously, it is impossible for us to cover all 25,000 students who attend the University. However, we feel we have been quite representative in getting a cross sample of people. ln addition to residence hall life, the section contains coverage of the Greek area and its 24 separate chapters, off campus living and special features on finals week and area nightlife. This year, we attempted to personalize the section. The layout resembles a scrapbook and interestingly, instead of routine text, we had writers compose letters to friends or family in which they describe their particular living arrangement. Most peoples' lifestyle includes some time away from studying in order to rest.
