About Maine Maritime Academy

PROS

  • Students comment most on the abundant post -graduation job opportunities, due to the highly -specific nature of maritime training.
  • Getting to study on a ship is a unique opportunity, according to many students. The ship moves through international waters while you study, and this means you get to visit places you’ve never been while you prepare yourself.
  • The professors are true experts in their field, and their knowledge comes from real experiences working in their industry.

CONS

  • Students feel infantilized by the academy staff, as they frequently check that they are not breaking the rules when friends visit each others’ dorms.
  • One of the most common complaints from commuting students is that it’s difficult to park on the campus.
  • There is not much to do in the area. Students say the closest place you can go is Bangor, Maine, which is 45 minutes away.
