学生评价
Overall Experience: Maine College of Art is constantly expanding and strengthening its faculty. Thus far, I have enjoyed basically every professor. MECA is on a first name basis with students and teachers, allowing the atmosphere to be friendly and mutual. As far as courses go, I love the majority of required courses and have learned so much from them. Elective type courses are almost like I'm not even in school. Getting to use the art studio spaces and unlimited tools and supplies has helped me so much as an artist and individual.
Overall Experience: MECA is equipped with a service called Artists at Work. It's a student and alumni center offering a constant job board of local and international internships and grants. If you are ever worried about getting hired for the summer or after graduation, they are the people to see! Other than that, I think my school is really encouraging and has enough to get you motivated to work within the real world. It just takes a determined student to do so.
Health & Safety: Because my school is located within a city, with no gated campus, I have heard of students being victims to sexual assault. Although my school is safe within the walls, your'e generally on your own once you leave the main building. We do have very attentive security guards though, and a growing support team to those who are victims of assault.
Campus Housing: I think the dorm environment at my school is very nice. Whether you are located in a single, double, or apartment style dormitory, you are given a clean, warm home to reside in! Plus, the RA's are always very polite and Residency officials are really flexible with whom you live with.

Drug Safety: There are constant emails about usage. Only one dorm building is allowed to have alcohol. RA's are strict about smoking in the dorms. The school does not permit smoking on campus. Nobody cares if you do or don't drink or smoke, everyone minds their business unless they think it's a safety issue. *(5)
