My daughter Mariah just loves the people and location of USM. We are from Colorado. We think Maine is gorgeous and the people are so nice. Recommend USM.
The USM Portland campus is conveniently located. There are a couple of amazing buildings and a couple that need updating. This is more a rating of the campus and amenities. Great views of the back bay from the higher floors in the Glickman Library.
The education is good, but not the availability. Professors don’t understand that most of the education is outdated. They don’t keep the interest of the students and there isn’t enough emphasis on application – though this isn’t a technical …
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 …
I went to couple schools in Maine such as USM, UNE … USM is the best school I ever had. The campuses are big and very beautiful in two locations, Gorham and Portland. The tuition is very affordable. The staffs and faculties are very …
I’ve taken classes at MSU, DeVry Tech Columbus, Delta College in MI, Lansing Community College in MI and Southern Maine Community College I’ve liked them all, but the people at USM are the friendliest people in Maine. My instuctors are all …
I went here for my sister’s spelling bee-it was beautiful! They had these really high chairs and tables in Hannaford Hall that made me crack up so much!! …
I attended this University a year after I exited the military. I was eager to start but unaware of issues I was dealing with at the time. Attention, retaining, social, among many other issues were over challenging and I dropped out. …
USM is a great school with hard working faculty that really care about your education. I’m in grad school now, and I’m finding myself more prepared than other students because of the USM chemistry department.
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, …
Portland is wonderful city.
I have had a great experience with the people here, faculty, students, Delta Chi etc. have all shaped the person that I am today.
You are better off going to another University if you are set on the city of Portland. While Portland is a great city, the University is one big disaster that is apparently getting worse with massive layoffs due to “budget shortfalls” even …
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 …
The ridiculous runaround between the registrar, admissions and the department of transfer affairs is enough to steer anyone clear of this place. Do yourself a favor and seek an institution with a better sense of timeliness, organization and concern for students and prospective students.
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.
This is the tale of the haunted wash room. Ok if you didn’t know the grounds of usm were built on an ancient indian burial ground or somthing like that. The Indians still haunt the grounds today and any one that goes here isn’t safe. If you …
I am currently a freshmen, and the education is challenging but easily achievable because the professors care. It is also extremely affordable compared to other higher education institutions.
Worst experience ever from a public relations perspective. The annual craft fair was advertised in the paper and when I arrived I was told I needed to have my vaccine card to enter. There was no mention of it anywhere in the advertisements. …
great choice
Awesome community!
it’s a trap.
Convenient location in downtown Portland.
Amazing school feels like a second home

Too Expensive to be free
Very kind staff. Some buildings are outdated, but yet again they are relying on state funds

Reasons to not go here:
1. The food is extremely greasy and unhealthy, and at most you are allowed to eat twice a day, 6 days of the week. …

Not bad for a public college. The Interpreting major is great.

it’s an inspirational area that you can get more excited about your studies’s vocation
A biased university that enjoys ruining people’s lives. Employer of fanatical , unamerican professors, whom share ideas of hate.

nice little campus smack dab in the middle of Portland. Take a walk through the community garden!

You know the dumbest people from your High School?
They work here now as professors and as office staff.

Great school. Nice city campus. 10/10 recommend.
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.
Campus employees have been very helpful in responding to my infinite number of questions.

Love it and I’m now working here! No complaints, excellent programs and staff!!!!
BIO lab has real human bones

University of Southern Maine is a very pleasant place, well kept, with a most genial staff and friendly as well.
What good years and good memories in this university!
Thank you to the teachers for their patience and their listening. …
