On any given day you will find students practicing in lifeboats, preparing for their captain’s license, rowing or sailing during a varsity team practice. You can also just have fun on a stand-up paddle board, in a sailboat or by going SCUBA diving as part of one of the many student run clubs. Maritime College’s more than 130 years of experience has shown that time on the water is the best setting for Developing Leaders & Producing Champions. You are encouraged to take advantage of all the waterfront has to offer by taking a kayak out, joining ‘Learn to Sail’ or taking the Safe Powerboat Handling course. The Waterfront is an ideal place to meet new people, try new things and enjoy your college experience. The Barber Shop is located on the first floor of Vander Clute Hall. If you are a Cadet, your fees allow you unlimited use of the barber shop. All other students may pay per visit. American Dry Cleaners is also available on the first floor of Vander Clute Hall. Please visit both locations for current hours.

If you are entering the school in the spring semester, you will be charged for insurance for January through August.
