Welcome to Maine!
You’ve applied. You’ve been accepted. You’re here. Now what?
Being located at the University of Maine campus in Orono means that you have ample travel experiences and dining options. Take a fitness class at our world class recreational center or go rock climbing at Mainebound. If you live on campus, take a short walk to downtown Orono or hop on the Black Bear Express right outside the Student Union and take a trip into Bangor to explore the city. Organize a hiking trip with some friends to Acadia or go skiing for a weekend at Sugar Loaf mountain during the winter.
When you come to UMaine, you don’t just come for studying, you come for the experience and the lifelong memories you’re bound to make.
