REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe campus is amazing, you can feel close to nature and isolated, or suburban and connected to the world - depending on where you feel like walking. The teachers care about their students and you can tell, you can stay after class for as long as you want, take them to dinner, lunch, just to keep the conversation going. The classes are intense but you can leave them knowing that you've learned something new every day.
Rachel from Farmington, ME
The classes are relevant to my major, interesting, and productive. All the professors are unique, and know the subject they teach very well.
Cidney from Harpswell, ME
UMF is a great place for students that enjoy a modern and diverse lifestyle. There are many different kinds of people here, some from as far away as California and many foreign exchange students. The community and the professors are very supportive and caring.
Tori from Turner, ME
Amazing, top of the line education. Up and coming in the way of facilities. Everyone is eager to help you succeed.
Renee from Hampton, CT
The classes are very informative and quite interesting.
Heather from Turner, ME
I like learning new things, especially learning different languages. Languages provide me a chance to get along well with others and to meet new friends who come from different countries. Besides, through learning languages, I can explore the cultural differences between different countries.
I like challenging myself and I will never stop learning. As a saying goes, 'Never too late to learn'. I learn from my everyday life and I do enjoying learning so much!!!!!!
