Not enough people start at a community college and then finish their degree at a state school. I work at a private university and this is something I recommend to almost anyone.

Hello! Go to UMO for CS, engineering, most humanities, STEM, etc. Go to the satellite campuses for niche things for that school. UMF is known for their education program, you'll get a better education at UMO for CS.

I flew from PWM to BNA(Nashville) and tsa even checked my bags and didn’t confiscate my pens or oil.

There is no local law enforcement or dispatch, either the County or the State provides it.

Augusta Fidium customer and zero issues with it.
Since I see a lot off discussion on the topic of "own router" on this post. Yes you can use your own router as stated by giving them the MAC or cloning it.
However, I'm going to give a friendly reminder that by using their router, their techs have remote management permissions by default (no setting to disable i t) and can see all the clients hooked up to it.

Thank you, that gives me so much more confidence.

You will 100% be ok. I have flown multiple times with THC products in my carry on out of PWM. You're flying from one legal state to another. TSA is concerned about weapons, not marijuana products, especially CBD. Safe travels, sorry to hear about your sister.

One other thing you may want to consider: the M/F ratio at Farmington is way off, about 2/3 - 3/4 female. I went to a college where the ratio was the opposite, and most of the guys found it to be a dating wasteland and the girls were overly pressured by the single guys.

Go to UMO not UMF unless there is a very specific program/career reason to choose UMF. At a bigger university you can find more people with all different kinds of interests and build your own community. At a smaller school you are kinda locked in to trying to be friends with whoever is there.

Hello there!
First off good on you to start at cmcc. It’s a great—if underrated—school.
I’m a Black Bear (UMO) alum, and I loved it there. It felt small enough, but with Bangor nearby, I felt connected. There are plenty of communities to attach to—especially in your field. Plus plenty of auxiliary groups, etc.
That said, Farmington is a good school and the academic difference isn’t likely to be huge. If you need a smaller community, then UMO can feel big.
All of that stated, I recommend Orono. The opportunities will be more plentiful. If there was a specific program at Farmington or it was substantially less money, I’d suggest it. It’s a good school. However, neither is true (the last time I checked), so UMO is my suggestion.

Which failed politicians. Which unemployed corporate managers.
If you've got them, name names. Otherwise you're just whining about change like your average Abe Simpson.

I'm a RN, and I'm also a complicated patient. I'd would (and have) lived in the County without any major concerns. If I did need an appt or procedure from a specialist that's not available there, I'd just drive down to Bangor. EMHS offers most specialties. And, of course, if it was an emergent situation they could also transfer your cousin's daughter to EMMC.

While I can't speak to the quality of the CS program at UMF, last year they cut 9 faculty positions due to enrollment being down. Those positions weren't in CS, but things do not look great for UMF.
I'm an introvert as well and would personally use this as an opportunity to grow by going to a bigger school with a more comprehensive program. There will be "growing pains" for you, no doubt, but a research university will definitely have more resources.

Yup, you'd think multi-million dollar earning businesses with more than 200 employees would get a better deal at least.
What do I know, I'm just here to clean the toilets 🤷

Dennysville is surrounded by Unorganized Territories (UTs) and residents see first hand the benefits of being state funded.
What good is local control if you have no money to do anything?

They're going into CS, either way that major has like a 1 to 10 ratio of guys to girls.
Don't pick colleges based on gender ratios.
