About Us
The city of Portland boasts a world-class art museum, great restaurants, the beautiful Old Port area, and a bustling waterfront. Numerous sandy beaches are near and outlet shopping is just 20 minutes away. The University of Southern Maine Portland campus boasts a brand new student center featuring food and beverage retail outlets open throughout the summer, proximity to grocery stores and restaurants, and a short bus ride to downtown Portland and all that the city has to offer. The Portland Commons Residence Hall opened for summer internship housing in May 2024, offering nearby campus fitness center access. Portland Commons apartments are highly sought after and are forecast to fill quickly, we encourage all those interns to apply as early as possible upon intern program confirmation. The building is beautiful and was designed specifically with events like conferences and meetings in mind. With easy access from I-295, there is an 1150-spot parking garage attached to the building making it so convenient for attendees coming from any direction.
Only 12 miles inland, USM's Gorham campus is a more traditional New England-style campus with rolling green hills and the village center a short 5-minute walk from campus. There are numerous residence halls, a large dining commons, access to fitness equipment, and spaces in our sports complex.
