UMaine college of engineering is a good engineering school without the big price tag and with less competition for spots. Downside is it doesn’t have the same name recognition outside of Maine. All in all, a very good value I think.

I believe the chemical engineering program is quite good.

Back when the paper industry was big in Maine, they invested a lot of money in the engineering school at UMaine — specifically to the chemical engineering department. That allowed to to build quite a good reputation.

The college of engineering has some beautiful new facilities thanks to some recent alumni and corporate donors.

"lovely town".

Well, its very small and your life will most likely be centered just around the school and school events/activities.

The surroundings are quite rural, but there are summer job (some with lodging) opportunities available in Bar Harbor.
