<p>University of Maine seems like a great fit!</p>
<p>I’ve traveled to the area many times and there are SO many outdoor activities there! Summer activities include Hiking (the university is very close to the Appalachian Trail as well as other smaller trails), Fishing, Lake Activities (swimming, boating, tubing, etc), Camping, and much more. In the winter you can go snowmobiling, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing, etc. In the winter you get the gold mine of outdoor activities! I absolutely love winters up there. There’s also hunting which you can do most of the year. The outdoorsy stuff really can’t be beaten here. UMaine is on my list for this very reason. </p>
<p>The sticker price for an OOS student is around $37,000. A little on the higher side for you, but they have good merit scholarships available. I have a 30 ACT and 4.04 GPA and qualify for a $10,000 scholarship (I could get that up to 15,000 when I retake the ACT in Sept, I’ll need a 32) which puts it well under 30,000 like you asked. </p>
<p>As a state flagship, it won’t be as academically stimulating as Harvard, but it attracts a lot of good students and I’m sure you’ll find like-minded students quickly.</p>
<p>Why so much east coast bias here?</p>
