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.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Not all of the residents halls have single user bathrooms, if you want your bathroom privacy, I encourage you to live in the Scott halls, in the Stone wellness community, or in FAB (for upperclassmen). The best halls to live in if you want to focus on your academics are Stone or the Scott Halls, if your main concern is fun, most likely Dakin Hall.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
It depends on what teacher you have and your major. Some classes I've had a very challenging and required studying outside of class, others I just passed no problem!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The Community Assistants really help making the Res Hall life very enjoyable for residents. Being one myself, I can say that we love our job and we love our residents. The community overall is very supportive.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There are not many choices for vegetarians. Its the same choices every day, and a lot of the time the food isn't cooked all of the way through. But the choices are immense with many different stations.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is a wonderful and cheap movie theater within walking distance, a few restaurants, and its only 30 to 40 minutes from Augusta.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
If your in education, this is the school for you. Its the best in the state and one of the best in the country.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
LGBTQ students thrive here. While there are a few nay-sayers, the general community is very supportive.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are a lot of clubs, including club sports, international, government, and support clubs.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus Safety is wonderful here. They are real cops, not just security guards.
