Overall, I believe students are under the impression from what they find online that this is a party school. I have found, that although there is some truth to this statement that the university has an accomplished nursing program and an intensive marine science program.

University of Maine is best known for their mascot which is Bananas the Black Bear. Before the black bear their mascot was a pink elephant. They ended up changing their mascot because during a football game, a black bear ran across the field and everyone started going bananas.

Standing in line for the Umaine Hockey games. There are so many kids and usually the music is good. You end up meeting a lot of cool people. I also love Maine Day. Come to UMO and you'll quickly learn about it.

University of Maine Orono is known for many things. Although it is well known for its fantastic hockey team, GO BLUE, it also is known for it's academics. It's science programs, especially engineering, are well known to be the best in New England. That is actually one of the reasons I came here for my undergraduate studies.

The University of Maine is best known for its large structures that allow students to do certain things that they are interested in. Such as the Collins Center for the Arts, which hosts many different shows, and offers a beautiful place for art majors or anyone for that matter to get way and escape to a peaceful surrounding. Most proffessors and deans of each college are here to help you, which makes things a lot easier when trying to figure what to do next academically.
