New England U

Post contributed by Leonard Phelps

I am a professor in Biddeford, Maine. I have always loved being around university towns. There is something that is always young, cultural, and fresh about living in a university town. Usually, there is good music, great food, and worldly theatre performances. I have lived in college towns since I graduated high school. I liked them so much that I decided to get a doctorate so that I could live in one forever. When August roles around, and classes are about to start the scene at the University of New England is the same as it across all college campuses. The dorms are buzzing with new students, parents, and Biddeford Directv by expertsatellite installation trucks. Each new student is getting ready to start the journey of adulthood. It always amazes me how young the freshman look. I am also amazed by how the student age in the short four (or five) years they spend in college. If you loved college, I suggest visiting ( or moving) to a college town! They are the best places to live in the world!
