UMaine is what you make of it, as is any college.  Coming from out of state, it is hard to make friends at first, but I along with most other out of state students became involved on campus and made friends that way.  Maine is Maine.  Coming from out of state, I am biased against trees, and the weather.  But it is a good change of pace as well.  Campus does get a little boring at times if you are under 21, but anyone would expect this coming into it, you aren't in the middle of Boston or NYC.  Academics here are hit or miss.  I'm an Education major, and the Education program here is excellent.  Engineering is excellent, and I know quite a few English majors who enjoy their program as well.  Beyond that, I do not know a whole lot about the Academic scene.  The Dorms and Food are the worst part of UMaine.  The newest dorms are from the 70s, and the oldest are well, really old.  We're talking about early 1900s.  While they're nothing extravagant, they do serve their purpose.  Food has been and always will be my biggest complaint on campus, along with most of the people I know.  Its not even the quality of the food, its the selection.  They have a limited selection of food compared to other universities of similar size, and that is something they really need to work on.  Financially, it is expensive for coming from out of state, and tuition is being raised while they are cutting professors and programs.  Would I come here again?  Probably.  I do not regret coming here.  But if I could do it again, I would go some place warmer.  Its not that it's too cold, it's just cold for too long a period of time.  Winter often starts in October and might not end till April.  So make of it what you will.  Overall, college is what you make of it, where ever you go, because there really is not such thing as the perfect school.
