Review of University of Maine

from Conway, NH

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The professors offer a lot of information in classes. Many professors have fantastic teaching techniques and are definitely worth while.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

There are many free on campus activities and things to do every night of the week. There are also many concerts and plays that cost money but are worth it.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Tour the campus before deciding. It is quite large compared to other schools in Maine. Don't get the biggest meal plan, you won't need it. Make new friends, don't just stick with the old ones. Don't take bio 100 unless you have to. Order your books in the online bookstore before the semester starts. Make sure you get a MaineCard during orientation, or be prepared to wait 3 hours for one.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Party animals, athletes, social butterflies, people that like being around a lot of people, chemical free people, non chemical free people, people who like studying in quiet, out of state and country people, older people, commuters, people who have children, people who like morning classes, night classes, and online classes. Also people who like cold, snowy winters and muddy springs. People who want to make a lot of friends, friendly people, people who like good and bad food, people who like free on campus activities.
