In the evenings, Schoodic is the perfect place to relax and bond with classmates. But during the day, students venture out to visit some of the research facilities in the area with ties to the University of Maine, places at which some of the students may work and conduct research in the coming years.
These facilities have included the National Cold Water Marine Aquaculture Center, the University of Maine Center for Cooperative Aquaculture Research, The Jackson Laboratory, and the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory.
