  Great for these types of students	UMPI is a great school for non-traditional and commuter students, of which it has the highest population. The staff and campus community as a whole is very sympathetic towards the needs of these students who either travel great distances (like myself who lives 40 miles from campus) or have families, jobs and other obligations in their lives besides school.
  Tips for prospective students	For prospective students, it is wise to get applications done ASAP and attend Early Acceptance days held by UMPI at their high schools for a better chance at desired courses and financial aid. These dates are normally set in early-mid. December.
  Bang for the buck	UMPI also offers great financial aid and scholarship options to students along with a good quality education for a low-cost tuition (especially for Maine, New England and Canadian residents), which makes it a bargain in the college market.
  Am enjoying being here	Being a smaller school, you get to know more people on campus which leads to a more enjoyable college experience through positive interactions with both staff members and fellow students alike.
  Am learning a lot	Despite being a small rural school, UMPI offers a lot of great courses to its students especially those going into the field of education, ranging from English to Recreation and Phys. Ed.

  Great for these types of students	All students welcome.
  Tips for prospective students	UMPI has a great sports program. Offers a diverse course selection. Has small classes which means more one on one. It is the least expensive of the University of Maine system.
  Bang for the buck	I think UMPI is great. Small classes, sports I participate in, etc...
  Am enjoying being here	I like being here at UMPI because the students and faculty are very nice and helpful. I'm not too far from home. Only 5 hours.
  Am learning a lot	I feel that UMPI is giving me a lot for my money. The classes are small, which means more professor attention.
