At UNE, we take great pride in the quality education we provide to our students, and this ranking from the Princeton Review is confirmation to us that we’re on the right track.

UNE was selected for the Best 382 Colleges guide based on its high-quality academic offerings, optimal locations in Maine and Morocco, competitive cost, and size. UNE’s profile in the guide details its admission requirements and academic offerings while providing other information about the experiences UNE offers students.

The Best 382 Colleges guide selects schools on the basis of academic quality, student survey data, and its commitment to providing a balanced representation of colleges by region, size, character, and type. Students were surveyed and rated their schools on the quality of their academic offerings and administration, campus life, and overall environment.

Year over year, the sample size of students polled for the Princeton Review’s rating has grown. For 2017-2018, they surveyed 137,000 students across 382 schools across the United States, asking each student a total of 80 questions that fall into four main categories:

• “About Yourself”
• “Your School’s Academics/Administration”
• “Students”
• “Life at Your School”

The questions within each category of the survey cover a wide range of topics from the serious “How many out-of-class hours do you spend studying each day?” to the more fun “How do you rate your campus food?” Most questions offer an answer choice on a five-point scale, but there are several opportunities for students to answer open-ended questions as well, so students can answer in their own words.
