UMaine Machias
The University of Maine’s regional campus in Machias is the state’s coastal university, where the land and sea, communities and natural ecosystems provide the context for a unique learning and living experience.
I think the UMaine community has accomplished so much for the state and world, but doesn’t let competitiveness seep into the classrooms or laboratories the way it does at some other universities. And because of that, I think there’s a lot less stress put on students and faculty which boosts productivity and creates a supportive atmosphere. ”
