Maine Maritime Academy Reviews
Rating 3.18 out of 5 174 reviews
There are a wide variety of opportunities available, including sailing a historical vessel, running research projects, operating CNC machinery, and learning to weld. In my freshman year in Marine Biology and Small Vessel Operations, I have gone on cruise to collect data for years-long studies, steered many of the school's vessels, and resurrected a club. Many of the degree programs lead to high-level licenses in engineering and sailing. As I was informed before I arrived on campus for the first day of classes, the academic programs are rigorous, but there is still time to take advantage of on and off campus activities, including student government, through which we successfully challenged a planned change in the tuition billing structure, which would have increased the cost of attendance for the vast majority of the student body. The one major thing I would like to change on campus is the prevalence of anti-LGBTQ+ attitudes among students and some faculty. I am working to change this.
Maine Maritime is a school unlike any other, even amongst the other maritime schools. Located in rural Maine with a population of only 4,000, students develop a close-knit sense of community. The comradery amongst the population is also largely due to those characteristics.
Maine Maritime Academy itself is located on the Castine Peninsula in Maine, overlooking the Penobscot Bay Area. With the nearest metropolitan area an hour away, students rely on interaction with their peers and the population of Castine. The result of which being a symbiotic relationship between local businesses and the energetic students. Furthermore, with the minute student body, residents quickly establish relationships within the multitude of teams and clubs found on campus. Moreover, they are able to share their experiences between organizations allowing the class as a whole to benefit.
Through this comradery, alumni fulfil the school's mission to establish future leaders of industry.

So far my experience with Maine Maritime has been excellent. When I first start college it was during the global pandemic. This made it hard to transition into normal college life. Living out of a dorm room going to "class" a few steps away from where you sleep is not what I had in mind. As the regulations were beginning to lift I was able to accel during my studies. I would like there to be more inclusion throughout the student body. Even though it is a small school it seems like there are many little cliques and not everyone is friendly like the Maine population is.
