Student perspectives:
  • Biking to get my groceries, studying by the ocean, walking the carriage roads in autumn. There is so much beauty here.

    - Sarah Ottinger
  • Stop for a second, take a moment and look around you. Everywhere on the island is beautiful!

    - Olivia Hope Clark
  • I love sunrises at the top of Cadillac Mountain, and it is the first place to see it in the United States for most of the year!  We are so lucky to have Acadia National Park as our backyard. MDI is a close and welcoming community, even for people who come from halfway across the world like me!
