There is room for everyone here. This probably isn't the best place to come if you really want to immerse yourself in other cultures because Maine isn't a very diverse state. There are cultural events on campus but a majority of the students are from Maine and have had limited cultural experiences as a result of that. People here are friendly and definitely interested in other cultures, and discrimination isn't really an issue, there just isn't much beyond what we grew up with in the area for diversity.

The type of person who should attend this school are people willing to put effort into their studies and who want to learn. It also helps if you don't mind a lot of rain and mud, just from a weather perspective.
