    Everything, every detail and touch was perfect! Absolutely superb! The owners are so kind! We even…read morehad a tall standing fan, which we used continuously (we are Hot natured lol). They think of everything! We've been to other B&B's but this one is extraordinary! Perfection!

    This is an amazing Bed & Breakfast! Held in a 1903 Victorian mansion, restored to its glory days!…read moreFrom the moment you ascend the Entry steps, the magnificence of this mansion captures your eyes, if not your soul. Every detail, from door knobs to furnishings, have been thoughtfully installed and placed to whisk you back to the turn of the 20th century. Magnificent wood work throughout with spacious halls and tall ceilings set the mood of the original Architect's intent - elegant charm! The hosts, Gerry and Jenny, did a wonderful job from start to finish! From communication via email, to welcoming us at the front steps, giving us a tour of the home and setting the historical stage, to waiting on us at amazing breakfasts! The Ross Mansion is also just a 10 minute walk to the heart of the historic downtown district, where many shops and restaurants await you! We are extremely happy that we found this gem! If you're passing through, make it a point to stay a night, or a few! This was truly a wonderful experience! Hats off to Gerry and Jenny!

    My least favorite Graduate School that I attended. I made friends with a lot of cool people on…read morecampus but was also terribly disappointed in the lack of quality of commitment to one's work that some professors and some fellow graduate students displayed. I was not accustomed to an environment where a "side-stepping" mentality to avoid one's work in Academia was an acceptable approach towards graduation requirements. My University experience previous to this was that one must put in 100% study effort to get 50% of the credit needed and the other 50% needed comes from doing something innovative in your work. It was made clear to me under no uncertain terms that 20% effort and a little bit of mild plagiarism would suffice for some graduate students that were lacking in their ability to otherwise graduate with a diploma. My time ended at USM with empty recruitment promises and quite a few labor law violations committed by my graduate assistantship job supervisors. Perhaps this is different for some, but I found my feeling towards my time there was the same as roughly 25% of the people I have talked to that also attended the University. Most of those former students that had similar experiences were far above the University base requirements for admission and recruited through offers of full scholarships with "custom tailored" assistantship positions that were magically exactly the assistantship areas/positions we were all looking for in a program. It was untrue of course and too late to change after the semester had started. Now, instead of giving 1 star, I gave 2 stars due to more recently having been told of somewhat of an overhaul in some Department Faculty and programs of study that would make some of the issues I am discussing obsolete for newer students. My attendance was well over a decade ago and one would expect a large University to get better over time rather than worse. So please take my review most accurately with the "dated age" of my particular experience as my complaints might very well be inapplicable in more recent years due to changes having been made. All the best and good luck!
