Freshman: Academics: academic programs are vast, instructive, hands on, and intensive. Very immersive, very helpful. There are small class sizes and the teachers care about helping the students. Extracurriculars: there are a handful of clubs offered on campus, and each one, typically, is student run and has student officers elected to ensure that everyone is involved and enthusiastic. Certain clubs have equipment or environments provided (EG, E-Sports, Theatre). Housing: housing isn’t bad, there are dorms, suites, and townhouses. There’s also apartments nearby if off-campus is more your style. Typically 2 per dorm, 4 per suite or town house. Community: The community is great, everyone is friendly and because of the population size, you get a chance to really know your teammates and housemates, if you put in the effort. Administration: So far (first year), I have had no problems. Semester evals are required, and teachers are great. Misc: food is EXCELLENT! definitely recommend.... Read 972 reviews

Freshman: I visited UNE at the end of summer of 2022 and spring of 2023. It was beautiful both times (to say the least). The building are gorgeous and the classrooms I was able to tour looked like a place I belong. The whole time i was there I kept thinking, "I can definitely see myself staying here for the next few years". Another reason that UNE stood out to me is the staff and student. All of them seemed excited and happy to talk to me, with no exceptions. I'm so excited to start in the fall!... Read 1,131 reviews

Freshman: I'm not apart of the community yet, as I'll be attending in the fall on 2023. I knew immediately Saint Josephs was for me, as they were always so curious, kind, and welcoming. I toured the school 3 times, and every time was just a little different each time. You always saw something different no matter what, even if you had been multiple times. The environment is calm and friendly, and all the staff and people apart of SJC have been so caring, always reaching out and answering any questions you may have about your experience. The student body itself is so welcoming and kind, always welcoming new people with open arms and offering friendship whenever they can. The incoming freshman at SJC have been so kind, and open to meeting all the new people that could be popping in. I'm happy I chose the school when I did and truly can't picture myself in another environment.... Read 277 reviews

Senior: UMaine is a beautiful campus. I am from the state, and it is a perfect school to transition into as an individual. I transferred from EMCC, so as expected a few credits didn't transfer over smoothly. Minus that hiccup I've had a great time back on campus after the pandemic. There are loads of clubs to join and ways to be involved as a student. I definitely recommend this school to people; we have a lot of people from out of state that attend here so it's also great to meet new friends from different places. The only real thing I'd like to see change would be advisor involvement in regard to financial aid and scholarships. It's something I myself and others have struggled with, as it is difficult to find and obtain them. Again, I love going to school here! Its a great environment to learn in.... Read 2,141 reviews

Junior: Unity College has been the best decision I have made in a long time. I am 49 years old and I really struggled after the death of my daughter and the health issues I faced afterwards. I chose to apply to Unity thinking that I have so much experience and real-life knowledge and I could still use that even though my body has failed me. And what I found at Unity encompasses so much more than a GPA, which I carry a 3.68 by the way. I found confidence, a welcoming community that supports me every day, and that I can still be relevant after all I have survived. Unity College has clear, concise content with relevant learning materials, and an easy-to-navigate website. I have been inspired by Unity to extend my college education and, although it is with another institution, I give all that credit to Unity. I would absolutely recommend Unity to college to anyone who wants to be in the environmental field, and because of my experience, I would recommend college to everyone!... Read 298 reviews

Alum: In addition to their on-campus offerings, the University of Maine at Presque Isle is now now an online institution. They value real-world experience and permit you to take more classes at once than would be practical in person so that you can use your expertise to demonstrate competency. It is excellent to see a state university embracing asynchronous learning, allowing those with established careers and subject matter expertise to pursue a degree. The YourPace crew is exceptional and goes above and beyond. The YourPace student conflict enables students to simulate college-level social engagement.... Read 125 reviews

Junior: I am a transfer student with an AAS-T in environmental conservation. Fall will be my first semester at UMM and so far everyone I’ve spoken to has been pleasant and helpful. They have been working hard to figure out how the classes I’ve already taken will fit into their program and setting up a specialized pathway through the GIS program just for me. I am live in Washington State and am taking classes in Maine, so all of my UMM classes will be online. I am super excited to start this Fall!... Read 118 reviews
