Student/Alumnus Reviews of Schools for This Career and State
University Of Maine At Presque Isle • Presque Isle, ME
Studying Accounting (completion in 2010)
• 9/29/2011
"I don't have any specific complaints. I enjoyed my time at my school."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | There aren't a lot of options around here. I did graduate from a different school with my associates before attending this school, and this one by far exceeds the first one. |
| Program Reputation | 4 | There were only 2 other graduates in 2010 besides myself with an accounting degree, so I would say they must have a poor reputation. I've never heard anything positive or negative about the program. |
| Program Quality | 8 | I feel that I learned a lot but I have nothing to compare it to so I wouldn't feel right saying 10. I'm sure that there are better schools. |
| Instruction | 5 | I do not feel they actually prepared me for a career. I learned a lot, but much of it I feel was unnecessary. |
| How Difficult | 5 | I feel that there could have been a work load in some classes. I feel that I was only moderately challenged. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | I feel that more hands on experience would do a lot of students a lot of good. Many of the book oriented situations do not pertain to real life situations. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 7 | I was able to take a number of my classes non traditionally in order to accommodate my work and family schedules. I don't feel I learned as much in online classes as I did when sitting in a classroom. |
| Academic Facilities | 5 | I know that many of these resources were available. I don't feel I could rate them either poor or good because I didn't take advantage of them. |
| Social Life | 5 | Once again, social activities were available but I didn't take advantage of them. I was a single, employed mother. |
| Placement Services | 2 | I received no offer for assistance with job placement before or after graduation. I did have one professor who regularly emailed all of his students job openings he came across. |
| Alumni Network | 4 | I have received very little post graduate communication from the alumni association. No one offered support after graduation. |
