The city of Portland, an easy 2-hour drive from campus, is home to the India Association of Maine (IAM). This cultural group organizes many social and cultural events and gathers together to celebrate holidays such as Holi, India’s Independence Day and Diwali.
Husson is an academically prominent institution with small class sizes. I've seen the cultural sensitivity that the administration provides to students from all over the world. The international office, in particular, exceeds expectations by giving each student individual attention.
