Love it here!

I LOVE being a Husson student! This school has so many resources such as therapists in the Wellness center, nurses, etc. I have never talked to a Husson faculty member who wasn't helpful or welcoming. This school is my happy place!

I am from the south, and came to Husson and it has been so awesome! All the snow days are amazing! Every teacher has been super nice and friendly. All the people are very welcoming and friendly! The campus is safe and colorful. Always something to do! For night life, you can go to Umaine frat parties or the parties at the swan! Go Eagles!!

As a incoming freshman i was looking for certain qualities in schools before deciding. when i first walked on campus i loved the atmosphere and how close knit the school was. the saftey is amazing with car patrols every 30minutes. the officers are so nice. i do wish there was more opportunities for work studies.

I am a transfer student and wow, this school is great! Good food, campus is clean and up to date. The majority of the teachers and staff are very kind and beyond helpful. There's a couple that aren't that good, but no really bad experiences so far. Safe campus. I think it's worth the money and it is reasonably priced.
Overall 4.3
Excellent campus for an academic atmosphere. Everyone can find their niche and the only people who are unhappy socially are not really trying. There's a lot of on campus activities and a ton of clubs. Our sports are excellent.
Overall 4.3
Very friendly, everyone wants to help you succeed.

This school is terrible! The location is horrid, no diversity, very small campus, and mediocre professors. If you are looking for a good education, Id advise you to look elsewhere.

coming to Husson was probably one of the worst decisions I have ever made. Life just **** ** and I am definitely not coming back next year.

I am going to graduate 2021. THE WORST SCHOOL EVER
Overall 1.7
This school is in a terrible location and doesnt offer much opportunities to their students due to the small student population. If you are looking for the college experience or even a decent eduction, Id advise you to look elsewhere.
Overall 1.7
Food is terrible, people are rude, dorm life is boring, sports teams are okay but they think they are all that and a bag chips, teachers are okay, bathrooms are gross, showers are too short, the list of negatives could go on forever.

Mistake coming here.
Overall 1.9
Literally the worst school ever. if it wasn't for a certain program i would transfer out of here as fast as i can. like never ever come here.
