What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
Man, If I knew than what i knew now.....I would always do my homework, I never really tried in HS and I could've taken AP classes to better prepare me for college. If I payed the couple hundred to transfer credits over to my college for the classes I took in HS, I would be able to graduate a semester early. If I wouldve done that I would save so much money, and most jobs in my field come in the spring, when I would graduate in December, making a better chance to be hired. I think everyday to myself, with my GPA from high school, if I only took the SAT's I could have also received a scholarship from the school to save more money. These are all thing I am prepared for for when my future kids go to school, and will make sure they try to save as much as possible when going to college. My story will help others be smarter about the HS to college transition.

I wish I had known how attached I would have become to the students, faculty, and my environment. I connected so well with my peers and the outdoors that I do not wish to return to my home state. I absolutley love the feelings I get when I am involved in club activities or when I watch the fresh fallen snow shimmer like diamonds that have dropped out of the sky! This school has become apart of me; it is my home, my family, and everything that I have ever wished for in a college.

When I discuss Unity College, the thing I brag most about is the Conservation Law Enforcement major. This major is extremely beneficial for your future. We practice collecting evidence, doing search warrants, and can take firearm training classes. This major is very helpful on preparing you to be a law enforcement officer. It is tailored to help you obtain a job as either a game warden, marine partol officer, or federal agent. This major is the best thing about my school.

Read all 8 answers What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
The worst thing about my school would probably be the location. The nearest hospital is thirty minutes away which is very inconvenient, and the local firehouse does not have enough volunteers and supplies so surrounding companies have to be called in when there is a big fire or problem. It is a very remote location so walking is a big activity done here; it just gets boring sometimes because I have seen the same locations various times, only in different types of weather.
Read all 7 answers What kind of person should not attend this school?
A person who likes having constant activities to complete, or if they like having popular industries close, like McDonalds or a WalMart, should not attend Unity College. The nearest WalMart is thirty minutes away, as well as every other big name company. In the town of Unity, there are two pizza places, a grocery store, and various small shops. A person who does not like the cold or nature should also not attend because Maine is always cold and nature is the only thing to look at.
Read all 6 answers What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?
There are two main, and completely true, stereotypes at Unity college followed by a sub-main group. The first man group is the hunters. At Unity there is a major called Conservation Law Enforcement. This major is comprised almost entirely of men who love to hunt. They are usually from a secluded neighborhood and don't know much other than hunting. In the morning you can find them in the cafeteria in full hunting gear and face paint eating breakfast. They are, in my opinion, the "cops of the woods." They can't drink, smoke, or do anything illegal so they are all very strict. On the other hand, there are the huggers. This group is comprised of extreme know-it-all liberals and people who don't shower for weeks at a time. Most of these people have dreadlocks, smoke a lot of rolled cigarettes, and smell really bad. They also aren't shy to shove their opinions down your throat. And even though they preach an all-loving mentality, they completely segregate themselves from the rest of the population. The subgroup I mentioned is comprised of teenage girls who just graduated from high school and want to play with animals. They are all in the Wildlife Conservation and Biology major and hope to be zookeepers. They are extremely immature, loud, social-bees with their heads barely hanging on.

Read all 4 answers What is your overall opinion of this school?
Personally, i am really enjoying Unity. of course there are things i would change, like updating dorms, and have better quality food but other then that it is an awesome school. The schoolis going through a huge overhall of all the majors and curriculums and its a very stressful time for everyone. Even though ther is some added stress our adviors are there to help always, and the great thing about this school is that the faculty is our advisors, so you can choose who you would like. All of the faculty here is great they are very knowledgeable and helpful . i do wish that they had more faculty for specific classes and would not have teacher who speicalize for example in ecology teach Biology I but all in all they are great.And they get on a personal level and all try anf have a relasionship with you by chatting with oyu not just in class but out of class also and but having us students call them by their first names. School pride is lacking a bit at the school kids only seems to get really into the whole "pride" thing when it is a Dean's Cup event (like the Tri-Wiziard Cup in Harry Potter only with resitential halls). the most frequent students complaints the food it really needs to improve!
Read all 3 answers What are the academics like at your school?
I went to a pretty good high school. It was fairly challenging and pretty strict. Although I was a slacker all throughout high school and slept during almost every class I am challenged much less and am learning much less here. There are some people in my chemistry class that have never taken chemistry. I am a transfer student, and since i did not have to take biology as a Landscape Management and Design major at Community College of Morris I have to take it here at Unity as an Ecology major. Biology is a prerequisite for all the classes I actually expect to learn something in. My biology teacher is the only teacher I have right now who I can feel has a sense of the Earth. Although she's fairly new, young, and doesn't really want to be a teacher, I like her more than everybody else. She's not ridiculously easy, assigns a chunky amount of work, and can have a laugh while keeping things straight. I have two teachers that I'm so frustrated with, and one of these teachers teaches two of my classes. For a total of 6 credits, all of the money spent for these classes could be better spent degrading in a compost pile. You barely have to do ANYTHING for these classes. The teachers have no idea what they are doing, and are not challenging the slightest bit. I can't express how frustrated I was, coming out of community college extremely motivated to do well in the world, then coming here and being subjected to such motivation-killing bologna. It's a quarter to 1am right now and I have an essay to write for one of those classes due tomorrow. I plan on writing it in less than a half hour, not editing it, and getting an A. I have taken general chemistry three times now. Unity wouldn't accept my credits from community college because, although i got an a in chemistry lecture, my lab was a c and therefor they wouldn't take it (they combine lecture and lab into one grade so neither can be a c). Also, they didn't accept Landscape Design I nor Landscape design II as an art elective. All we did in those classes was draw. Unity is short on staff because it's a very small school, so certain classes are only offered in the spring OR fall. Also, some classes are only offered in the spring OR fall on odd OR even years. If you want to take over 16 credits, an extra $840 will be added per credit over 16 you take. So, if you're like me and you don't want to be here for another three years and need to take 16 credits per semester, if you can't fit 16 into each semester you have to pay another semester's worth of tuition. I will probably have to be here an extra two semester's because none of my specific sciences are offered in the fall, and i need to take the prerequisites for those classes in the spring next semester. In a nutshell, I'm frustrated.
Read all 3 answers What are the most popular student activities/groups?
The two biggest groups and clubs I can think about is the Woodsman Team and the Ultimate Frisbee team. I really couldn't tell you about the Woodsman Team and what they do because I have never been to a competition or seen them practice, I just see a great amount of people wear the jackets and talk about it. The Ultimate Frisbee team is just a really passionate group that loves to play Frisbee and have a great time. Even though I am not on the team, from time to time I find myself throwing around the disc with them and holding a conversation. Most people here are super easy to talk to. Other than that, for some reason Magic The Gathering has been sweeping the campus, and old players, like myself, have started playing again. But really, everyone here is pretty diverse and are engaged in other activities. We also have a sugar makers club, an FFA organization, and I know of a beekeepers club trying to get started up. Those are just a few that come straight to mind, but I don't have enough fingers and toes to name all of the clubs and activities we have here Unity. I guarantee there is something that will catch your interest.
