Okay, enough of the academics. Time to answer the question,
"What do you do on an island in Maine?"

Quite a bit actually. We are in an amazing natural location, have very creative students and a dedicated student life committee. The combination makes for a full yet non-traditional social calendar.

While COA has no college level sports teams, it doesn't mean we're not an active community. Pick-up games of soccer and ultimate frisbee abound. Every student gets a free membership at the local YMCA which allows for volleyball, basketball, swimming, a well equipped weight room, and indoor soccer in the winter. There's even the occasional game of underwater hockey in the swimming pool (a real treat if you've never tried it).  Of course there's plenty of hiking, kayaking, biking, and canoeing as well since the ocean is spread out in front of us and Acadia National Park is our backyard.  In the winter there's ice skating at the town's outdoor rink as well as on the several large lakes and ponds in close proximity to campus.
