The University of New England

First off, DO NOT COME HERE!!! im currently in my first semester of my second year here at UNE in the dental hygiene program. for those of you who dont know for some health majors your freshman and sophomore year youre on the biddeford campus and then junior and senior year you go to the portland campus for your clinicals and such. when i applied to this school and got accepted i was aware of this and the fact that i would be dorming in portland for my last 2 years. WELL, about 2 weeks ago i over heard people talking and stressing out about trying to find an apartment in portland because the school had gotten rid of housing and i thought to myself..no fucken way. so i e-mailed my advisor to see if this was true and she said oh yeah they got rid of housing because it was in bad shape, but thats okay because you can just get an apartment. UMM WHAT???? first of all me and my parents are not made of money and dont have extra cash lying around to get an apartment and pay for food and bills on top of paying for this 30,000 dollar school (the cost without housing). so not only have i STILL not gotten a formal letter from the school letting me know of this, but they have also done NOTHING to help me out. if i had never heard those people talking i would have never known and would have gone through out the year ready to live in portland only to find out that there is no place for me to live and by then too late to go to another school. so now on top of my stressful classes this semester im scrambling to get into some other schools so that i can continue with the dental hygiene program next year. THIS SCHOOL CARES ABOUT NOTHING BUT YOUR MONEY!! they knew well in advance that they were going to get rid of housing this year in portland and have done nothing to let their students know. if i had known this I WOULD HAVE NEVER CAME HERE! and i would have transferred last year the first week i got here and realized how shitty it is. theres nothing to do and all the girls are bitches and sluts. save yourself and seriously LISTEN TO THESE COMMENTS!!!! the only good thing about this school is the beautiful view. thats it

Yeah. Where to begin... the school smells like crap, because people use bleach for laundry. Girl to guy ratio is close to 70% female to 30% guys. Campus is wayyyy to small, you see the same people day in and day out so there is no oppertunity to meet new people. The classes were fine and the teachers were helpful. Social Life? HA thats a joke. There is NOTHING to do here durring the week or the weekends, except an ocational bingo game. Campus location is nice cause its on a river, but it is in the middle of nowhere. Biddeford has little to nothing to offer. Few resturants and places to go! If you want to bring your car you will need to dish out $300 for a parking pass. Dining is rediculous. Prepare for the same meal to be served at least once a week. If you are a vegetarian hope you like salad cause thats pretty much all you can eat. The main cafe is too small and always packed for dinner. And the mascotts a storm cloud.
