Growing up in Southern Maine, I initially wanted to take college courses anywhere else. After a few years I realized I had one of the most affordable, beautifully located campuses in the country! The staff is fantastic and seems willing to go above and beyond to assist anyone who needs it. They have an advising professional named Patrick Haviland that I cannot speak enough good about.
SMCC is a fantastic school. You pay very little tuition for very high quality education. Professors push their students academically, while also being understanding of the student’s life outside of the classroom. The campus is beautiful and serene being right by the ocean (the perfect place to do homework or take a breather). Personally I am a commuter, so I cannot comment on the housing, but from what I have heard from people who do live there, it is sub par. But, you do get what you pay for. I recommend SMCC to all my friends and family!
I have been going to SMCC for two years now and it is the most beautiful campus! It is a small campus with such amazing staff that will answer every question you have. In between classes I take a walk on the campus path that leads to the beach! Every professor I have had wants to see you succeed and will help in anyway possible. Such knowledgeable professors who love what they teach are the key to student success, and they have that here. I lived on campus my first year and the dorms were very small, although the bathroom facilities were very nice and up to date. The dining hall food is mediocre but there is also a cafe and Starbucks close by. Most of all the people are wonderful and the campus setting is even more spectacular!
