As a graduate of UMF and someone who doesn't like the Bangor area (no good reason; it's just always felt wrong to me), I have to recommend UMO. UMF has made it clear over the years that the only program that matters to them is the Ed program. They give every impression of wanting to be a single program school and treat the rest as afterthoughts at best. They also have a habit of allowing buildings to deteriorate and then decide it's too expensive to fix them.

Yes, I am bitter about what they did to the Creative Writing building.
