The advisors, teachers, staff, and especially the financial aid office are so morally bankrupt, incompetent, lazy, rude, corrupt, and honestly just plain pathetic! Returning here for these last couple months has been an absolute nightmare and waste of time! I honestly plan on reporting the school to multiple agencies for discriminatory behavior among other issues! If I were you, I would choose a different school and save yourself the migraines and heartache!

This was the worst college experience I've ever had. This college is very unorganized and great a…read morelosing student's information. You have to really be on some of the staff to do their jobs accurately. I went through a course that had four professors quit in under two weeks. All coursework that I completed was dismissed and no credit was given. The reasoning is because each time there was a new professor they would assign their own coursework having the entire class start over again. It was really frustrating because excessive homework was assigned just to be unaccounted for. I spent so much time and gave my full effort for each assignment. Another course I was enrolled in, the professor was inactive the whole time and never responded to her students. I'm assuming there was no replacement for that instructor. The only organized professional encounter I received was from my English teacher. He was extremely competent and one of the very few attributes Bates has to offer. What a stressful and disappointing short time I spent at Bates

Our eldest is a second semester freshman now so our experience with UPS is still somewhat limited…read morebut so far we have been absolutely thrilled with the welcoming & progressive culture of the university, rigorous science, art and history curriculum, clean & safe dorm accommodations, healthy choices in the modern cafeteria and really gorgeous grounds. My Logger is thriving in every way. The cost is our only concern but I'd encourage families to apply for UPS scholarships and work study in addition to the usual FAFSA loans. There are opportunities for study abroad, intramurals and many clubs. The fitness center with swimming pool is remarkable. My kid is really happy here.

I had a great review for this place that got moved to the school's music department and so I'm…read morestarting over. UPS is a small arts school with some CS and other science and engineering majors. It does have sports too. It focuses on the arts and the music department is the shining area for the school. The ratio of professors to students is 11:1 so if you get in, you will have a lot of attention that you won't receive at larger universities. They do have dorms, even though it is so small. I have been here for a music performance and also just like to walk around the grounds on holidays when no one's here since they are well kept. I was accepted to Cornell but not UPS so don't let it stop you if you apply to this school and get declined.

Materials are not organized, the course syllabus is general. I've yet to find direction online. There are literally so many platforms to log into for assignments, there is no ideal order to follow for assignments.

If you are neurodivergent, Please do not come here. There are a FEW people in this institution who…read moreare there to help you and are great humans- there are even more people who will punish you for your accommodations. For example- your teacher may say something like "you can't sit there, that's for the girl with autism". Which tells the whole room that a student has autism- hipaa violation? Or they may accuse you of lying about your needs at all. I've seen and heard of this and much more. The school positions itself to be a resource for the community, but in reality, from the top down (board of directors, president and higher admin), they have an agenda that seems to be taking advantage of people in poverty - mentally and financially- while somehow getting bonuses for themselves. Please do not go here and stop any child you know from being sent here. Find a different alternative school- coming here is not an option unless you're the type of person who can teach yourself with no assistance or guidance from anyone. Why is the graduation rate 2%?
