Coming from Massachusetts, one might automatically feel like an outsider. However, when I joined the UNE team I was welcomed immediately. UNE is a small community in its own right, with qualities resembling a best friend intertwined with family. The classes and campus are a perfect size in order to learn and socialize throughout your college experience. UNE offers unlimited options and endless support, it would be impossible for a student to feel lost, unrepresented, or insignificant. You’ll see that UNE needs each and every one of its students to be complete and we appreciate all of those who have joined us.

UNE Students have the unique opportunity to become deeply involved with an interconnected, academically rigorous, supportive community - while spending their free time on the beach or at the ski mountains. Coming from a bigger university, I can easily see how UNE offers the benefits of a large university, but with all the perks of a smaller school. You will know your faculty and your faculty will know you. You will have a chance to participate in research, study away, and get involved with student life. With our close proximity to both Portland, Maine (named the Most Livable City in America by Forbes.com and America's Foodiest City by Bon Appetit in 2009) and Boston, we have access to major cultural hubs of the Northeast, while maintaining our strong community feel on campus. Come and visit us - we'd love to show you around. And if you're a high school student in Maine, check with your guidance office to see when I'll be visiting!

Growing up in Southern Maine I thought I knew everything the area had to offer, but being here at the University of New England has shown me how much more there really is. The opportunity the students have to travel abroad, participate in student run events and groups, and work directly with their professors is what makes us UNE. Having come from a small private institution I know just what a difference the student-to-professor relationship can mean for our graduates. I'm so excited to meet you all on the road and to be a guide for you on your way to college.

As a recent graduate of UNE, I can't say enough good things about it. Where else can you live and learn on the beach? UNE has a unique feel to it with the perfect mix of rigorous academics and a beach community feel. It is a tight-knit campus where the faculty and staff are dedicated to the success of their students. As a former student, UNE was my home away from home and I wouldn't change a thing. College is such an exciting time so enjoy EVERY moment of the process. Good luck!

When deciding which college or university is best for you, it's really important to make sure you feel at home. The sense of community at UNE is unlike any other. Our faculty and staff will make sure you have the perfect balance between being comforted and challenged so you are able to grow and learn to the best of your ability. The minute you step foot onto our campus you'll know you're not just a number and that other UNE community members truly care about you. And if that weren't enough, we're right on the ocean. What could be better!

I grew up in southern Connecticut and I would have never imagined moving up to Maine, but here I am now, immersed in the culture that UNE has to offer. As a recent graduate of Western New England College (now University), I appreciate the comparative size and atmosphere here at UNE. With over 1400 students living on campus, you'll find the vibrant campus make for a perfect home away from home. It doesn't hurt to be only a short walk away from some of the most beautiful beaches in the country! I hope your transition to college is as smooth as possible, so please come to Biddeford and visit with us!

Having lived all over the east coast I can honestly say there is no place quite like Maine with all it has to offer. Beaches, rivers, lakes, mountains, parks, cities, arts, music, cuisine; the list could go on and on. At UNE all these options are at your fingertips. With a great faculty to student ratio, a wide variety of majors and class offerings, and incredible array of clubs and activities, boredom is about the only thing we don't offer here. Check out our web site to learn more or better yet, come visit us in person.
