A holistic view of wellness

At UNE we take a holistic view of wellness — defined as physical health in balance with mental and emotional health. Between our fitness facilities, resources, and professional staff, you have multiple options for activities, assessments, and opportunities to help you be the most fulfilling version of yourself.

Mindfulness and Mental Health

We’ve got you! Every student faces some challenges during their college experience. Our student support team provides the personalized tools and guidance you need to be healthy and comfortable, and to find success as a member of the Nor'easter family.

Physical Wellness

Become an active Nor’easter! Whether you enjoy outdoor hiking, skiing, or attending a workout class, we can get you moving. Our friendly and highly trained professional staff at our Campus Center (Biddeford) and Finley Recreation Center (Portland) will help you find what you need to progress in your personal fitness and health journey.
