It's actually just called the University of New England (it is in Maine, as you know), and I have a friend that's going there for college this year! He went up there for orientation and he absolutely loves it. It's apparently right on the beach so I bet there are some beautiful views from the dorm rooms. :)
It looks like a really nice school. If you want more information on it, here's their website:

Hope I helped! :)
