Student Life
There’s Always Something Happening
At the University of Maine at Farmington, student life is active, welcoming, and full of opportunity. Start your day with a smoothie at the Beaver Lodge, fit in a workout at the Fitness & Recreation Center, and head to class knowing everything you need is just steps away. Between classes, enjoy campus dining at South Dining Hall or walk to downtown Farmington to explore local restaurants and coffee shops with friends. Evenings might mean campus events, residence hall hangouts, or planning your next outdoor adventure—like a trip to Sugarloaf.
If you’re looking for a college experience where residence life, dining, campus activities, and community all come together, you’ll find your place at UMF.
UMF Makes It Easy to Get Involved
With this many clubs and organizations — including improv, equestrian, and rugby, to name a few — UMF has something to get you out there and involved.
