Since 1862, the University of Maine has been recognized as one of the finest institutions in the Northeast. The campus sits on Marsh Island, surrounded by the Penobscot and Stillwater Rivers. Though a fairly small facility, UMaine includes five museums, ten sports facilities, the Maine Folklife Center, and the Collins Center for the Arts, making it one of the major cultural centers for the region. The Maine Black Bears are the only Division I athletics program in the state.
The surrounding town of Orono is quite small, creating a classic New England college town environment to the community. The peaceful calm of Maine’s natural landscape surrounds the university, allowing you to get out and explore the outdoors quite easily. Maine’s “queen city” of Bangor is just fifteen minutes down the road, giving you easy access to the neighboring community’s more extensive dining, nightlife, and entertainment options anytime the urge strikes you.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
