Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Other  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright Great School but I transferred. The social life is crap. Police not only bust every party, but take people to prison for allowing 20 year olds to drink underage on their property. People are afraid to have fun because they assume they'll have to pay a fine, at least off campus. Campus itself is so small that although you won't get caught by police, the 2 security guards are sure to find you if you're screwing up; 1 will write you up and both will shut down underage drinking. Beyond this, there are almost no practical courses and generally, there is a lacking course selection. Unless you are majoring in environmental studies (a decent amount of environmental science is involved, but not the most rigorous of courses), you will not be happy academically. You may, however, be happy if you don't want a major. Here, while you might not always have classes you want to take, you will be allowed to take whatever you want and rarely have any prerequisites that you actually have to take; I took multiple advanced courses during my freshman year without any obstacles. The professors are fantastic and will almost always help you at almost any time. It's not like the old days, where they apparently smoked marijuana with each other and even the president partied with students, but Faculty Accessibility: A+, Social Life: F Have a Question?

If you are self-driven, compassionate and creative, and just generally not sure of what you want to do, then you would succeed at COA. If not, the shortage of classes, limited resources and intimate campus might get to you. Personally, I love the college. Social life has to be self-started, but the students are all very friendly and interesting people, and the same goes for the faculty. Location wise, COA sits on 32 acres of beautiful waterfront. After all, it is on an island. Bar Harbor is close by, but most of it shuts down in the winter. Faculty Accessibility: A+, Social Life: C+ Have a Question?

It is the most internationally diverse college in the country, but has almost no "American diversity." There are not many courses and most people have to waste credits or become visiting students at other colleges. Don't come here if you know what you want to do in life already, unless you've got a big plan utilizing lots of off campus resources. This is definitely a Hippy School and there is no other place like it, which would be great in a city - but in Maine, just means you are isolated from the rest of the world. Great school overall, but I ended up transferring. Faculty Accessibility: A+, Social Life: D Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.
