How can I contact the College?
Is this the college for me?
Yes This is the college for me. The ideal college for me would be a college that would be located in a small town where everyone was friendly and Bar Harbor Maine was an example of that. What I really liked about the college is that it has a really small enrollment of 359 students that would be less than 20 students in a class. On what I want to major on is in that college being marine Biology. But something that I really liked about the college was that it is surrounded by the ocean and outdoors.
