Average Rating
Imagine a college where the faculty knows you on a personal level, the price is extremely affordable, and the education is so valuable you can't put a price on it! I attended EMCC for two years, and it was an overall positive experience. For anyone who wants to save money before attending a four-year institution, a school like Eastern Maine Community College is a great place to start.
