Maine is a wonderful state that has excellent flights to Chicago and available flights to everything from Boston Logan that is strange. So it’s remote but has access to Canada. For example, on the way to Bangor, there are exits for Montreal and Toronto I think. French is commonly spoken much like Spanish is widely heard across the US. The schools are quite diferent. Bowdoin on the coast just north of Portland, Bates is located in a small city that is just north of Portland and inland. Colby is north o the road to Bangor and is located on rol!ing hills aka fabulously beautiful locafion. Colby has scholars from all over who teach for a period. My heart beats for Colby. Maine has a small population overall wiith few minorities. That is because of history and geography rather than white supremacy. Lobster rolls are available at McDonalds. Maine has lots to do recreationally and offers both skiing and sailing. Portland is very sunny even in winter, but cold. Of the three schools, I suggest choosing on the basis of areas of study and cost. University of Southern Maine in Portland lacks some of the prestige of the others, but is a rsally good school. Maine is special!
