The SMCC CampusThe main Campus in South Portland is located close to Portland, the largest city in Maine, on a beautiful site overlooking Casco Bay. The College is one of the most picturesque points on the Maine coast, located on the site of the former Fort Preble. Many of the College buildings are historic structures that have been renovated to fulfill the educational mission of the College. The campus covers 80 acres and includes 45 buildings, including residence halls and dining accommodations, as well as an athletic field, a beach, a pier, interesting military fortifications, and a lighthouse.
Life at SMCCSMCC strives to engage students both inside and outside of the classroom by complementing the enriching classroom experience with a variety of activities for students. Students who are active participants in the life of the college are more likely to persist and be successful in college. Getting involved provides an opportunity to build connections with fellow students and with faculty and staff and to develop lifelong friends and mentors.
Whether a student is living on campus or commuting to classes, their life outside the classroom is an important part of the total college experience. Activities, athletics, clubs, residence hall life, student government, and all that the Greater Portland area has to offer are important parts of a well-rounded college experience.
