Eastern Maine Community College — Local services in Bangor

I am currently in the Human Services program at Eastern Maine Community College. I am in my Junior Year, but went to this school starting my sophomore year to get the basics and learn more about Human Services. This college (from the human services standpoint) gives you an amazing example and head start within the basics of the mental health field. The main teachers in the program are Deb & Edmond. They are fantastic. They are hardworking and driven to provide student success. Multiple times when I was struggling, they were there to help me. I recommend this college to anyone who needs more one on one support. Especially straight out of high school or wanting to come back to college after a year or many years. The teachers help you feel like you are successful and provide a safe and comfortable learning environment. The pro is definitely the free college for some of us who graduated in a specific year. That is so wonderful and has seriously helped my success tremendously!!! The only downfall I would say is there is not many online classes for this field, which could be an addition to making the college more successful for those who are online learners. My only complaint for the college in general is some of the bookstore staff (not all of them).. but some have been a bit disrespectful to students. I understand it is a hard job and overwhelming when students are packing in to get their books during the start of a semester, but hiring more staff or switching off would be beneficial for these staff to reduce burnout and stress overall making it a healthier environment for the staff, and so they are kinder to students.

Just want to point out that the claim on them allowing you only one plate of food is big time bogus. I went there this year and had no problems. I could go into the cafeteria five minutes after I just ate and buy 10 drinks and 3 burgers and not once did they tell me no. (No I am not that much of a pig but you get my point lol)

The enrollment was a little wonky. Would recommend buying books from somewhere else though because the books are pricey.

My instructor was down to earth and by and by the best person you could ask to teach you to weld. He is currently remodeling all the booths in the welding shop to be just like the ones where you take tests up at the college in Bangor....

The enrollement staff here is really unorganized. Over the summer I called everyday. Everyday I would not get a response. The business office likes to get you to pay more money than you owe. The bookstore has ridiculous prices. Definitely go to amazon first. The food is the same thing every day, and you are only allowed to have one plate.

That's the bad. The good. Very beautiful campus, teachers are willing to help with anything you don't understand. The classes are more hands on then out of a text book. Professors are easy to...
