NESCom
(the New England School of Communications) is a small school
off the beaten path in Bangor Maine with great facilities
and personal attention hard to find at larger, comparable institutions. The Good:
*The school offers amazing facilities for
its communications programs, with equipment on lease so students are
always using industry standard equipment that is fresh and current.
*The majority of staff is always helpful, reachable and
willing to put in extra time and effort (even at
night, on the weekends and in some cases during holidays)
to help students in need and keep every operation running
smoothly.
*Schools atmosphere is pleasant - the school is small
enough where you really get to know your classmates and
form bonds and close relationships with fellow students and staff
alike.
*NESCom is on the Husson campus and a short
5-10 minute drive from UMO so there are always plenty
of activities to keep busy with.
*Cost/Quality is outstanding... the
quality of education & equipment for the price is outstanding
and in my opinion the education is much much more
hands on and real-life based than similar schools (for a
fraction of the price).
The Bad:
*Because NESCom
is a separate school from Husson students do not have
the opportunity to participate if collegiate level sports (but do
have the option for intramural).
*Location, for many Bangor
is like much of New England but students from larger
areas should understand that they are coming to a smaller
community for the quality of their education and not for
crazy nightlife. However, the school is a short drive to
many major areas (Portland ME, Boston MA, etc.) so students
do have opportunities to attend concerts and other entertainment options.
