Review of University of New England

from Biddeford, ME

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The classes are usually about the size of high school classrooms, the teachers will know your name and will make sure you know of office hours. Don't be surprised if they give you their home phone number!

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

There is an extracurricular activity for every major, athlete, or interest. If there is something that isn't offered that you want, the college is open to new ideas and programs. We are also 10-15 minutes away from shopping centers and a 5 minute walk from the beach.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

It's true that this school is pricey, but there are scholarships available. The teachers are usually of high quality, the food is pretty good, the dorms are liveable, and it's an all-around good school.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Watch out for housing, new dorms are being added but it is still pretty tight. Seniors must live off campus, and sometimes students still are put on waiting lists for housing. If you're a marine biology student, like me, don't count on being able to work at the Marine Science Center because a lot of kids want to work there and there is limited availability.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Science or health majors, those who want smaller class sizes, suburb dwellers,beach people, people who don't mind snow & wind-chill.
