Housing Information
Students will spend the night with another new student. Parents are invited to also stay on campus in a separate residence hall. Parents, of course, will have their own space. All rooms have two single beds in each room and a shared bathroom on each floor. Towels and linens will be provided for parents only. Students need to bring bedding (pillow, sleeping bag/sheets and towels). It is recommended that everyone bring swim wear, athletic/casual clothes, including walking shoes, as there will be plenty of activity here on our lakefront campus. If parents prefer to stay off campus, please refer to the back page for recommended hotels.
If you have any questions about summer orientation, please call the Admissions Office at 207-893-7746 or 800-338-7057.
