Southern Maine Community College Reviews

Beautiful campus and a great community college. The small campus is easy to maneuver around, a close-knit overall feel between students and staff. The best part is it's an affordable education without the staggering price tag. After your two-year degree so easy to transfer your credits and yourself to a higher education and degree. This school is so worth looking into, you'll be so glad you did!
Review Southern Maine Community College
I was afraid of the college life when I first started, SMCC was a great fit for me. Being the largest community college in Maine it has the University feel, without the hefty price tag. Tutors, and multiple advisors create an environment of success, glad I started my college career here!
I love the professors. This campus is in a beautiful area with a diverse group of friendly people! I do not recommend living in dorms. It's overpriced, way too strict, and just overall not worth your time nor money. The elevator in the dorm hall is gross and because of this, no one gets their security deposite back. Not fair because not everyone contributed to it.
