University of Maine Reviews
Rating 3.53 out of 5 2,121 reviews
The University of Maine is a great college that provides students with many opportunities to succeed by providing many internships and connections to workplaces. All of the professors care about each individual student and want them to succeed. Everyone at the University of Maine shares the same love for their college and the location of the college is perfect. University of Maine is located in a small town called Orono, Maine. The college releases activities everyday that students can participate in and Bangor Maine is located about a 15 minute drive from the University. Bangor has shopping stores and everything you would need in a small city. At the University of Maine you will never run out of things to do and people to meet! Hockey, Football, Basketball, Baseball, and many more sport games are very enjoyable to attend. The student sections are loud at each game. My experience at the University has been incredible and I would recommend anyone to also come join the University!
The university itself is pretty, it's large, and there's a lot to look at! The students aren't exactly inviting or friendly, and I consider myself easy-going and likable, so for people to treat me with a cold shoulder was odd. The staff is nice, especially at the dining halls. The smaller classroom environments I have found to be the best overall--the lectures at the university are poor in my opinion and the professors don't put effort into the material they're teaching students.
Do you want to get drunk for 4 years while learning nothing, and get a degree at the end of it? Then this school is for you! Do you care about your academics, extracurricular activities, and overall well-being? Avoid this place like wildfire. The only good college in the system is the wildlife/nature based programs. Everything else is half baked curriculum. You can pass the classes without ever going to them, because the professors expect all their students to be wasted the entire time.
There are many smaller quality of life things missing: There is no system for pairing dorm roommates based on lifestyle, many of the walkways are poorly designed and ice over in winter. Many of the students and staff are very close minded, with little care for mental health, LGBT equality, and POC despite what they may say.
UM is one of the biggest schools in Maine, but it is FAR from the best. Unless you plan on going for wildlife ecology, or you just want to party while burning money, STAY AWAY!
