Casual

Pretty much describes them. We're up in Maine, where it gets extremely cold, so the clothes we wear is not so essential. Most of the time students wear sweats and sweaters plus a light jacket just to stay warm. Everyone seems to be friendly as well, so don't be scared to say hi or wave at someone unfamiliar. We're all a happy community in the end. :)
