    Am learning a lot

    The classes are relevant to my major, interesting, and productive. All the professors are unique, and know the subject they teach very well.
    Am enjoying being here

    I absolutely love Farmington! The students and staff are incredibly welcoming and warm. The surrounding area is beautiful, especially if you appreciate the outdoors.
    Bang for the buck

    For the quality of education I am receiving, the price is very reasonable. The school also gives financial aid generously.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be open to trying new things and new classes, be flexible in your schedule, and be prepared to get tired of the food after a while.
    Great for these types of students

    Students seeking a B.A. in Education make up the majority of the school, and the program is fantastic.

    Did enjoy being here

    If you have any interest in learning technical art skills, I would not recommend this campus.
    Tips for prospective students

    The Education program seems a bit challenging to get into from an outside perspective- most students are Education majors of some form. The psychology classes are outstanding, and if you're looking for a math class, look for one taught by Mike.

    Art students- this place might not be for you. Depends on how you feel about disorganized classes, professors who are difficult to contact, and paying for courses that you don't get a lot out of.
    Great for these types of students

    Aspiring Education majors would enjoy UMF.

    Am learning a lot

    I like learning new things, especially learning different languages. Languages provide me a chance to get along well with others and to meet new friends who come from different countries. Besides, through learning languages, I can explore the cultural differences between different countries.
    I like challenging myself and I will never stop learning. As a saying goes, 'Never too late to learn'. I learn from my everyday life and I do enjoying learning so much!!!!!!
    Am enjoying being here

    I am an exchange student this year who come from Hong Kong. I'm now studying high school and I'm going to graduate here. I do love the learning environment in the US. Everything here goes very well. I'm planning to establish my career in America. I want to be a Chinese teacher. I hope I can explore more and more cultural differences between Chinese and Western countries.
    Bang for the buck

    Even though my financial situation is not very good, I still want to study here.
    Tips for prospective students

    Being well-prepared plays an important role to help to enhance yourself and it is the first step to succeed. Try to make effort if you can. Do not be afraid of failure. Everyone learns from mistakes.

    Tips for prospective students

    Has plenty of pre-graduate programs, and art programs but it seems to be very expensive reaching over 20 grand for an instate student.

    I attended UMF as an Upward Bound student, I found the food to be bland and dreary. The dorms were a hazard(fully enveloped in flame in under 2 minutes.) The people however were unique and kind in typical Maine fashion, I'd highly recommend this campus for anyone pursuing a teaching degree.

    The University of Maine at Farmington is a great liberal arts college. They have great faculty and staff as well as student. The campus is so diverse, that you can do just about anything here and it is a lot of fun.
    Tips for prospective students

    Students need to come on a tour here to UMF you see more visiting UMF than reading about. Words cannot describe the campus and the people.
    Academic Rigor

    While there are a few easy classes, you are challenged in everyone of them to rise above and try new things.
    Dorm Life

    The residence halls are a great place to meet new people and to just hang out.
    Food and Dining

    UMF dining is great because they have a lot of variety.
    What to do for fun

    Clubs are consistently putting on new events and even old favorites. There is always something to do in Farmington.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Humans vs. Zombies and variants of it happen every semester.

    The campus is amazing, you can feel close to nature and isolated, or suburban and connected to the world - depending on where you feel like walking. The teachers care about their students and you can tell, you can stay after class for as long as you want, take them to dinner, lunch, just to keep the conversation going. The classes are intense but you can leave them knowing that you've learned something new every day.
    Tips for prospective students

    Whether or not you get to visit the campus before you enroll doesn't matter. The environment is no different from that of any other college. You just have to be prepared to work hard. Of course, if you do get the chance to visit, you should! You would get to develop a relationship with your teachers before you start classes - who would pass that up?
    Academic Rigor

    Each program is designed to fit in as much information as is possible within the space of a semester. Each class is led by an experienced teacher recruited by other teachers, and evaluated by their students. If you're having problems in a class - any class - there are tutors who are just waiting to help you, and teachers who are willing to provide further instruction wherever it is needed.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms vary. Some are older (Mallett and Purington), and some are newer (Stone and Scott). The positioning is key, however, and even the older dorms have their charms. Mallett is in prime position, it is in the middle of the campus and is within 10 minutes or less of almost every destination you may have on campus.
    Food and Dining

    We complain about our food - but doesn't everyone? The portions are generous and you can always go back for seconds...or thirds. The Aramark staff have been working hard to provide us more healthy options and ways to eat better, and they do a good job of making healthy foods taste good as well.
    What to do for fun

    For fun, you can always head down to 'FHOP', the local pizzeria; or 'Wicked Gelato' a local shop specializing in gelato (no kidding), sandwiches of many kinds, and soups - and it gets better, they have free Wi-Fi! Or, you could just check your email once a week for the countless number of programs and events being put on by the school and held around campus. But if you're lazy, you could always hang out in The Landing and just wait for all the crazy, fun things that take place there to take place.
    Bang for the buck

    You get what you pay for - actually, you get more. Great teachers, great community, great dorm-mates. And the opportunity to study abroad or within the country at a different college!
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There is a strip of hallway in between the radio booth and the South Dining Hall called 'The Beach'.... there's nothing truly special about it other than its shape. But it does have a calming effect on me whenever I walk through it, come to think of it.
    Great for these types of students

    Every one - no exaggeration, this college has something for everyone. Well, everyone who wants to learn - even some of those who don't. There is a great social atmosphere, academic stimulus everywhere, and a gym class (I thought that was a cool random fact).
    Clubs and Activities

    There is a club for everything and everyone, and if there isn't, then there will be soon. Creating a new club is as easy as finding an administrator in the staff, having the idea signed off on, and recruiting members.

    Am learning a lot

    The classes are very informative and quite interesting.
    Am enjoying being here

    I attended another school before I came to UMF and I like this school so much better as I feel the school is much more close knit and the campus is very nice.
    Bang for the buck

    I feel that the cost of a degree at UMF is much better than some other Maine institutes.
