Amazing, top of the line education. Up and coming in the way of facilities. Everyone is eager to help you succeed.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Never be afraid to ask questions about the university to not only professors or admissions, but to students too. Most students will be willing to give you input, and it's super helpful. No question is too 'dumb' or 'pointless' for anyone!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Extremely challenging classes! The professors here help incoming students acclimate before the push begins. They push you to be the best student that they know you can be, and are always available to help when you need it.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I work as an RA in our largest building. Although its true that UMF doesn't have the best facilities- they need a lot of work- the staff here makes your experience as pleasant and comfortable as possible. I know that I work hard to keep my hall comfortable and happy, as well as all other RAs and our AD in the building. We know we're not in any top of the line facilities, but we make due with what we have and turn our experiences into something special.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
We don't have the 'best' food sometimes in Aramark, but my friends and I have found that things are changing in a good way in the way of dining. Our snack bar is always top notch, and its definitely a great 'hang out spot'.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
our student involvement groups always provide fun things to do on campus. If you would rather not do something on campus, we have tons of little shoppes down town to wander into, as well as a great gym facility.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The campus could use some love, but the education you receive is priceless.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
This campus is one of the oldest in Maine and contains so much history. We recently started a new advertisement line called we used to be normal, which highlights the old traditions and strangeness of UMF. There are plenty of ghost stories to go around due to the old buildings- all of them at one time housing students.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Education, education, education! UMF prides itself in being a top education school. However, we have so many strong programs that don't seem to get attention called to. Our psychology program is our second best, and I am blessed to be a part of it. We are also one of the few schools that offers things such as creative writing, rehab, business psychology, etc.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
We are full to the brim with clubs and activities! and the best part is, if you want to start a new club that doesn't already exist, its so easy to do that!! We have anything and everything! Intramural water polo, comedy troupes, poetry slams, stitch and b****, etc!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
We have one fraternity- APO. although I am not a part of it, many men and women on campus are. They do a lot for the community. Although it is time consuming, we do have it available to those who are interested.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Although crime is inevitable anywhere you go, I must say our PubSafe is phenomenal. As a staff member of a hall, I personally know each officer. They are so kind, and so good at what they do. I feel safe on campus and know that escort services are available when needed. They are quick to respond to calls and do their job efficiently!
