Review & Rating
Absolutely horrible. This place is super expensive for what you are getting. Everything about it is a joke. The dorms are like little opium dens. Your paying the price of a decent apartment for them and you have to put up with a roommate, which is always a joy. Its just hundreds of little things that make it suck. Everything from super dirty toilets and showers to the constant slamming of doors that sound like a gun going off at 2am. Scares the absolute living $H!7 out of us, especially when your trying to fall asleep or concentrate on something. (Maybe consider taking classes here but nevah evah EVAH get a dorm here!!!!) I'm an engineering major and I have to take an art class that will cost me over $2200. What the hell do i need art for!!?? You will also get brainwashed with leftism which wont be a big deal for most, but when i'm paying to learn engineering things and the teacher is babbling about how President Trump is a big bad evil man, it kinda irritates me. Defiantly wont be coming back next year!!! (University Scammed Me).
Awesome community!
Place discriminate anyone with color. I recommend you a different school. They do not care about you or your education. They only care about money.
I find the low scores interesting because you are essentially rating yourself. If you have any reference at all it is because you had an experience at another school that you had an obvious reason to transfer from. This school is ripe to provide a student with exactly what they work toward. The administration is very accommodating and the professors provide the students with the opportunity to think for themselves. The core requirements promote a well rounded student who can think critically and make decisions based on that judgment. I would highly recommend this school for traditional as well as non traditional students. This review is provided by a non-traditional student who went full-time and graduated.
This is college, there's no such thing as a "teaching degree" like there is in secondary school. This school has amazingly good professors, and people who are experts in their professions because Portland, Maine is such a nice place to live! All the night live life without the hassle. I went to the Shetland Islands on a field study. Students go all over the world in various degree specialties. Iceland is the next big place students will be going. I've received two certificate degrees in GIS and Community Planning and Development as a non-traditional student.
I only took a few summer classes here but everything about this school has been a headache. Each time I try to use my transcript, they have a hold on my account for small fees that make absolutely no sense at all. They somehow find a way to waste your time and money even after you think you're done with them for good.
Political bigots.
A biased university that enjoys ruining people’s lives. Employer of fanatical , unamerican professors, whom share ideas of hate.
BIO lab has real human bones
The majority of the professors and staff here are good. However, USM is run like a business and all they care about is their bottom line. Red tape and greed pervade the university and leave me with a bad taste in my mouth. While the people at the top continue to make more money than they deserve, the professors don't. In addition, they constantly cut fundamental courses because they aren't making enough profit, or so they claim. Lastly, USM charges students for parking and then advertises free parking as a perk if you rent space from them in hannaford hall. again, all they care about is money as hundreds of students drive about looking for a parking space, end up parking at ahannaford and walking, and wondering why we are paying for parking. p.s. they love to sneak in charges too. every year, instead of looking at your insurance information provided, they charge you $1852.00 for their health insurance and tell you if you dont want it to opt out. A real scam. Welcome to the University of Everyone.
