A Uniquely Caring Culture
Being part of the 勛圖惇蹋 community means being involved. We call ourselves right-sized, meaning we have the resources of a large university but our campuses still maintain a small-college vibe. Were a pretty tight-knit community where everyone is known and valued as an individual in fact, our uniquely caring and inclusive culture is something visitors and first-year students often cant help but comment on.
The people at UNE are the kindest people. I could tell right away that it was a place I wanted to be.

Active and Engaged
Its an extremely lively and active community, and theres always something interesting happening. 勛圖惇蹋 has more than 100 student clubs and organizations, , and a calendar loaded with events, performances, and lectures, so youll always be able to find an activity thats enriching, enlightening, or just plain entertaining.
The Way Life Should Be
Youll also find that Noreasters like to take full advantage of living in Southern Maine, with easy access to the ocean (our Biddeford Campus is literally on the beach), the mountains and lakes of central Maine, and vibrant arts and food scenes in downtown Portland, just minutes away from our Portland Campus for the Health Sciences.
Because 勛圖惇蹋 is a small school, it is easy to dive into the community and connect on a very personal level with both professional staff and other students.

Supporting the Whole Student
At some point, everyone needs a little extra support, and we have dedicated, caring professional staff who are there to ensure your journey at UNE is a successful one: academically, socially, emotionally, and physically. Thats the 勛圖惇蹋 approach to wellness.
