Husson University is my committed choice, it is not just my only choice, it is my committed choice because it is an answered prayer to my academic and career plans. I guess if it were a backup, what would draw me to it would be the hands-on learning, small class sizes, and how much faculty care and support students. I feel a strong connection with Husson’s focus on health and behavioral sciences because of my background in caring for animals and helping people. The vibe of the campus is welcoming, and the strong sense of community is a huge benefit as well.
For Husson to stand the test of my first opinion, I would love to see more options (extracurricular) near the space of animal welfare, environmental advocacy or possibly more in-state internships, especially in the southern states where I am from and currently reside — Georgia. It would also enhance the diversity of clubs and student life activities.
Overall, I would have to give Husson University a 4 out of 5. When a place such as OCADU offers so much value and quality of education within such a nurturing environment, education is guaranteed to be a springboard for students like myself who are eager to make a positive difference in their given communities.

Husson University is a small-campus school where there is a large sense of community among its students. Everyone is cheering at the sports games all year long, packing the stadium, the field, and the bleachers. For the academics, there is a somewhat wide variety of the majors and minors offered at this school, and there is opportunity everywhere you look. The staff and professors are always very encouraging, and almost always available to help, especially those in the education department. Overall, Husson University is a great small-campus university that is easily lovable.

They have been so good to me! The professors are extremely available and they seem to genuinely care about their students. I love Husson and the opportunity it has given me to expand my knowledge and branch out into a world I thought I would never be apart of. Very thankful for Husson.

Theres ample support whether it be with academics, health issues, or mental health, theres always help to be found.

Husson University is a great school. The class sizes rarely if ever breach 50, and the professors are all experts in their field with decades of experience who want to see you succeed. The food is great, and the facilities they offer are crazy. The video program, in particular, is phenomenal in regards to facilities. Within your first semester in the Video Production major students will be using industry-standard cameras and editing software. Husson is a very hands-on school, and you're always learning something new, plus as you build a relationship with your professors, you're also making connections that will make entering the workforce much easier.

Husson is very community based. The teachers all make an effort to get to know each of their students individually as a person. It isn't a big party school, but people can go off campus to party, UMO is pretty close by. Husson's in the middle of Bangor, so there are a lot of shops and restaurants around, but when you're on campus it doesn't feel like you're in the middle of a city. It feels safe and comfortable.
The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Husson University is 80%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020, _____ students were offered admission.
What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
If i had the chance to go back to high school and tell myself something about the transition to college, I would say: Brace yourself, you're about to have a bumpy ride! It isn't the classes or the schedule that are tough getting used to, it's the overall life changes that occur when you move out of your home for the first time. Nobody is watching over you to ensure that you are where you need to be and doing what you need to be doing.
What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
I can honestly say that I brag about our academics. I feel I have received the best education possible and desirable. I am pleased with what I have learned through the three years I have been at Husson University and I am pleased with the man the academics and Husson community have inspired me to be.
I think the student that likes a small classroom and enjoys a small campus, should go here. It is just small enough that everyone is within a 5 minute walk from each other. But it is just big enough that you don't see someone you know everyday.
What kind of person should not attend this school?
I would like to say, "the person who is not serious about college", but I cant even say that. Husson will accept any student; smart students, well-rounded students, and even the party student. They take each student and mold it into the community, making the student who likes to party grow up because when you are in the Husson environment you want to grow up and you want to reach for your goals. So every type of person should attend Husson because it allows the students to reach for the stars with some guidance and leadership.
What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
I think Husson is trying to grow too large too fast. In trying to expand the breadth of the university it is neglecting the needs of the growing number of students on campus. It is overcrowded and there simply is not enough housing. Students are required to live on campus for the first two years, but there aren't enough dorms.
What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
What the financial aid was really like. They promise way more then they actually provide. What the actual facilities conditions were. It is a lot worst then the say it is.
Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
The school is small (all classes in two buildings a couple yards apart). This makes finding classes very simple, leaving that stress of entering a new school out of the process. It also means very small classes, so teachers can give you a lot of one on one time when you are struggling. Finding help from the tutoring center is also much simpler because there is much less students to worry about.
All students must apply yearly for financial aid. This process starts with the FAFSA.
Though financial aid deadlines vary by school, it is a good idea to apply as soon as possible. For the upcoming school year, you can apply as early as October 1 for the FAFSA. Additional school aid will be dependent on the FAFSA results.
86% of students attending Husson University receive some sort of financial aid.
41% were awarded federal grants.76%received federal loans. Many students do also need to apply for additional private student loans.
