Why Rangeley, Maine?
Rangeley is a legendary four-season resort town surrounded by more than 100 lakes, ponds and rivers, plus the peaks of Maine’s Western Mountains. In summer you can swim, kayak, paddleboard, hike the Appalachian Trail, spot moose at sunrise and watch the clearest night skies you’ve ever seen. When September arrives, the whole region explodes into red, orange and gold – New England’s famous fall foliage – and you’ll be living right in the middle of it.
The town is small, safe and incredibly welcoming to international students. You’ll quickly go from “the new student from abroad” to a familiar face that everyone greets by name.
