The University of New England spans two coastal campuses in southern Maine, with its main campus situated along the Saco River in Biddeford and a second campus in Portland, approximately 25 miles north. Established in 1831 as Westbrook Seminary before evolving through multiple iterations, UNE has developed into a private institution known for its health sciences programs, particularly its College of Osteopathic Medicine, which is the only medical school in Maine. The Biddeford campus features a blend of historic and modern buildings spread across 540 waterfront acres, including marine research facilities and a private beach. UNE maintains comprehensive undergraduate programs in the sciences, humanities, and health professions, with notable strength in marine sciences, health sciences, and environmental studies. The university requires undergraduate students to live on campus for their first two years, offering traditional residence halls and suite-style housing options.
