I notice most reviews that make this over a four star school are just ratings from 'A Google User'. Not surprised. Anyway, this is a good school if you already know people who go here and are basically local and love to get, y'know, hammered. Most of the population here is white, partiers. Most of the professors are pretentious snots who will not take any time to get to know you and assume you are relatively daft. The days are short, quite literally, as the school year takes place during Maine's darkest months and mental illness is at its peak. There is little to do except gossip, so expect that most of your relationships will be insincere and with narcissists. The staff of the University-- for example, financial aid, is resentful. If college is about making connections, you can forget about it here. There will be a few golden children who will emulate the professors to a T, but the majority of persons not involved in engineering, science or education will be left to the wayside. Pick anywhere else if you are a literate person who enjoys connecting with likeminded persons in a well-cared for setting. The older buildings are so dumpy. I cringe every month when I pay my loan back. I wrote to an old professor and never received a reply. Not worth it. Depressing D school.
