My overall experience at UMA has been positive. My professors have been knowledgeable, flexible and encouraging. The courses have been challenging but worthwhile--often they were even fun! My only real complaint is that many of the upper level courses in some of the majors are not available online or asynchronously, which can make it very difficult due to the pandemic and for working adults especially to attend class, participate in discussions et cetera safely.
University of Maine at Augusta has made a huge difference in my life! I am finishing my fourth prison term. When I began this sentence I had no hope of changing my life for the better. I was allowed to take online courses from UMA starting last year, and now I am enrolled in the college. For the first time in my adult life, I have a chance of making something of myself- a SUCCESS! The degree path I chose is one that my past will not prevent me from succeeding in, and I now have a chance at a real career. The staff of UMA have gone out of their way to support me in my pursuits, the professors have worked wonders with the level of technology I have access to, and I even have access to a reentry coach who's job it is to help me set goals for my success and help me find the resources to meet them.
My college is not a traditional college and definitely not how college is portrayed in movies. Dorms were added right before the pandemic, they are located in Hallowell about a 15 min drive to the school. The campus is pretty small with no cafeteria only a small cafe. There is a gym complex but it is up and away from the main buildings where most classes are held. The dorms are set up like small apartments with private bathrooms and full kitchens, and they provide a shuttle service for the students who don't drive. The architecture building is a building in between the campus and the dorms and is not on the normal shuttle path. I find that the school is not good at communicating with students. I have missed important financial aid and class deadlines and was not informed that my architecture portfolio had not been received. I wish that they would help students more; make sure we are doing ok and know how to use the online services, how to drop and add classes, and worst case scenarios
