- 1410Hey Austin, We do not have an official baseball team, but you could definitely start pick-up baseball games on the front lawn. We have regular games of pick-up soccer, frisbee, and cricket on the front lawn, and basketball and waterpolo at the YMCA. Our only official team sport occurs annually at the National Tobogganing Championship in Camden Maine in which we send several teams of 4 to compete for COA in a toboggan race!

- 84Hi Devonte! The main coastal campus is 35 acres and is a five minute walk to Bar Harbor. I can see the ocean from my office. :) We also have two farms, Beech Hill Farm (81 acres) and Peggy Rockefellar farms (117 acres) and two island research stations on remote Maine islands. That might sound like our school is pretty big, but our student body size is only 350. There's a lot of space to breathe compared to much bigger universities. :)
