Housing: Academic Year 2011-2012
The following housing opportunities are being advertised as a way to help our law students (especially the incoming 1L class) to find housing in the Portland area. The law school does not take responsibility for any of the listings below. The postings are courtesy to local property owners as an additional service for students who do not live close enough to check the local listings and/or the law school general message boards.
This page will be updated throughout the summer. If a room/house you previously saw is no long listed, it is no longer available. If you are a property owner and wish to rent your house or a room in your house, or if you’re a student looking for a house-sharing opportunity, please email the Admissions Fellow Diana DeJesus, at ddejesus@usm.maine.edu.

Maine Law Students Looking for Roommates
Timothy Donovan, ‘13
Are there any upcoming 1Ls looking for a place to live? I am an upcoming third year and am looking for a roommate around June 1. Walking distance to school, $575 plus, ranch house, peaceful neighborhood. Please email him at timothy.j.donovan@maine.edu.
Michael Scully, ‘15
I currently live around the block from school but will be looking for a new living situation, preferably with 1 or 2 fellow 1Ls. I can start a lease as early as June 1 but anytime in August before school starts works as well. Since I live right here already, visiting houses shouldn't be a problem. Anyone looking for a roommate/s please don't hesitate to shoot me an email at michael.p.scully@gmail.com.
