USM is a state school so it's not crazy fancy, but it's good enough for me! It's a cheap state school and the campuses are beautiful. I love the atmosphere.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Professors are hard but the material is important. They're understanding, especially with sports. (It's an athletic school) Just get your work done and put in the effort and ask for help if you need it. You should be fine, though it's nothing like high school work!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
It's a lot harder than high school was for me, but I think that's only because my high school didn't really challenge students. I am also a nursing major so all my classes are science and math intensive so that makes it harder. But Butch Fenton is a great professor for nursing and makes it all worth while!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
They're not the nicest dorms we could have and they're pretty expensive but the atmosphere is great. Everyone is very nice and involved. That's what I was hoping for in college.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is great, most of the time, and the dining area is so cool. All you can eat? Yes please! Hello freshmen 30!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Like I said it's an athlete school so if you like sports you're set. Lots of clubs and intramural sports to do. Also, RAs and students and sororities put on events all the time which is fun.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It's a cheap school, but not as cheap as it could be. Atmosphere, classes, and dining seem to be up to par, but the living spaces (which is usually most important to students) really isn't.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
We have a second food service place on the Gorham campus and it's open late. So every one calls it the Crack! You know, because druggies get the munchies?! Great food though!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Athletes, students who want a small school, can roll with whatever they're given, likes to be outdoors.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are so many diverse clubs and activities to do almost every day! I can almost guarantee you will find something you find interesting!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I'm not part of the Greek life but I hear they're great and really close-knit. There are quite a few sororities and frats.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Cops drive around all the time. Emergency buttons within visual distance of each other all across campus. Feels very safe, though no college is perfect. (you can't control everything and stop every crazy person.)
