Maine
is a perfect setting for people who want to get away from it all.
Visitors to the State will find themselves in the middle of nature's
playground with pristine mountains and lakes, pine-scented woodlands,
and a rugged rockbound coastline.
Founded in 1865, the University of
Maine is the state's land-grant and sea- grant institution. The Orono
campus is comprised of 161 buildings on 660 acres overlooking the
Stillwater River, just seven miles from Bangor International Airport.
It serves as the flagship university of the seven- member University of
Maine System.
