University of Maine Top Questions

That it's an hour away from home, and I commute. Though that's not really about the school. I don't have anything bad to say about my school.

I think the worst thing about the University of Maine is just the lack of development in the area around campus that would be enjoyed by students. As a transfer student I was able to experience a college town vibe, which is something that I think the area around the University lacks. I would love to see more local restaurants, coffee shops, or cafes come to the Orono area.

The weather is absolutely freezing and walking to class is terrible.

The worst thing about the school is the location. It is pretty far away from other places.

The worst thing about the University of Maine is the weather. This far north in Maine we have a winter that last close to 6 months and it can get bitter cold with strong winds. With a campus a mile wide from one end to another, it can be a long walk in January.

Probably the windy cold during the winter. I don't mind cold but it gets windy in Orono a lot in the winter for some reason.

The worst thing about the university is the quality of the amenities. The roads are in bad condition, the food is serviceable and available jobs are dreary.

The only thing I could say that I do not like about this school is that there is not enough activities that go on. There is a movie showing once a week but the campus doesn't hold many events for people to go out other than that. There should be a dance or some fun day of activities at the rec center. Something that brings everyone together.

The worst thing about the University Of Maine is the winters you have to deal with while attending the school. Maine is very cold so a winter on campus can be rough. Walking to class when it is below freezing is never a good time and causes many students to get a cold. The campus recommends building hopping if it is too cold. Which is something that sounds bizzare but works and I would recommend.

I guess the worst thing you could say is when it's cold it's really cold and when it's hot there is no air conditioning.
