Central Maine Community College

I think it's a great school, it's very diverse and people all over the world are there. You're definitely not alone. Teachers are willing to help as long as you seek the help you're looking for. Guidance is always there through the advisors and directors

I think it's a good school to attend, and would recommend it to everyone. Its affordable, and easy to apply to. The people there are super friendly and helpful for whatever you may need. The campus life is fun, and helpful to those who live far away to make sure that they may still attend.

I have attended CMCC for 3 (basically 4 years) and it has been the best four years of my life. I attended this school originally because of the cost, as well as the opportunity to play sports. Once I graduated with my initial associates in general studies I transferred and found to hate that school, and so I came back to CM. Like any school CM has its downsides, like they do need more housing and they most definitely put extra focus on athletes over regular students. But at the same time the school offers so much to do, and there are times that I absolutely loved it at CM, but now that I am 21 years old, I didn't enjoy the idea of living on campus, or the idea of having to be there 4 days a week (They don't do classes on Fridays) Therefore I chose the online option and absolutely love it. CMCC is a very diverse school, and also a very accepting school, no matter your race, sexual orientation, or anything along those lines. I feel that is a very crucial thing when it comes to picking a school now a days. Sports wise, CM is a very competitive school, the women's and men's basketball teams have been to nationals, the women winning the whole thing last season, they have a men's hockey team, that although it is in the probation period does very well against teams like UNE, Bates, and Dartmouth. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at CMCC and have saved a lot of money and it finally steered me in the right direction for my future career.

Central Maine Community College is brimming with opportunity while keeping a low tuition rate-only about $2,200 for me! The dining hall is scrumptious, boasting a milkshake machine, a wrap/panini/ quesadilla shop with unique and healthy selections, a flatbread station and more. There's also a coffeehouse offering fun drinks and pastries, which students can work at. The overall student body is about 3,000, but it doesn't feel like it, especially when currently, my biggest class has 9 people and my smallest 7! This means a more peaceful environment and more 1 on 1 time with the professor. So far, my professors are friendly, willing to give help, and keep a good sense of humor. Classes may be a few hours long, but with the hands on work from cooking class, time generally flies. Even during my lecture, the professor is charismatic, not droning on for hours. I live in a dorm, and it's pretty cozy. My hall has a lobby with a TV, microwaves, board games and some movies. On the 4th floor is a large study area called the Treetops, which is also used for nightly events(Cards Against Humanity every Friday, in the future paper mache and a meet-and-swap). Admittedly, the other hall seems to offer more, such as a kitchen, foosball , and air hockey-but students from my hall are welcome inside. For extracurriculars, CMCC offers a good variety of clubs-so far I've joined the Collection of Creative Citizens-they're hosting cake decorating next week!-but there are other clubs such as a Culinary Club, Contemporary Gaming Coalition, and an Environmental Club, which often has trips off campus! CMCC seems to care about student success, as most people come ready to transfer, and also offer the TRIO program to help with academic success as well as career exploration. I genuinely feel welcomed here!
