Serra - 01/17/2023

I love my time I have spent studying at UMA! After spending time at a larger college, I think that this is such a nice change. Classes are smaller, small enough that professors actually know your name and reach out if they notice that you are struggling!

Brianna - 09/21/2021

I chose the University of Maine at Augusta because it allowed to me to be close to home. I am an English major and have enjoyed my time at UMA so far. The students and professors here are super friendly and supportive of each other. My classes have pushed me to view the world in different ways and challenge my own beliefs. Overall, I rate the University of Maine four out of five stars for great staff and students.

Olivia - 12/01/2019

UMA is a great school for non traditional students or students who work. There are many options to complete degrees completely online, which is great. Most professors are very involved and genuinely want to help, some professors should be retired already. Overall, my experience at UMA has been a 4 out of 5!

Chelsea - 11/21/2019

From the first day I had classes at the University of Maine at Augusta I knew I was going to love it there. The faculty and professors were very welcoming and want to see you succeed. They make themselves available outside of their regular office hours if you need extra help because they truly care about you and their passion. It's a commuter campus so people of all races, ages, ethnicities, genders, religions and backgrounds attend this campus which I think is wonderful because you get to know a diverse group of people throughout the time you are studying. There are no fraternities or sororities so you don't really see or hear about anyone partying or doing drugs which is another aspect I love about UMA. We are focused on our academic learning, not social appearance. I personally have never felt scared, anxious or nervous on campus because it is a safe place for student to be and almost everyone knows each other. I am more than happy I chose to attend UMA and would recommend it to anyone thinking about applying for college.

You take the classes you want to, and you learn what you want to. Nothing in all the years of your education has felt so perfectly fit for you. So stop worry, stop losing sleep, stop panicking over the decision. Nothing is permanent, but you will find that this school is the best choice. You won't even stick with your original major! So keep going, and keep learning. Keep learning about your society and enviroment, but most importantly keep learning about yourself. You will be surprised at what you find.
