For some, it's a quaint coastal village. For others, it's one of our nation's largest museums. For others still, it's a vacation retreat...

We call it home.

Around 20 students come to call Mystic home each semester. When not at sea or traveling on our field seminars, you'll live cooperatively in five fully restored, 19th-century homes (numbers 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 on the map) at Mystic Seaport.

Our administrative and faculty offices are in Labaree House (3). The Carlton Marine Science Center or MSC (10) provides the main classroom and laboratory space for the science classes as well as 24-hour study space. The G. W. Blunt White Building (11) provides classroom space for the humanities courses. Sturges Cottage (9) is a 24 hour student life center with work-out equipment, games, a television, a piano, a reading nook, and lounge space.

But learning doesn't start or end in these rooms. All of Mystic Seaport becomes your classroom. The Museum's 17 coastal acres and 70 buildings provide a unique and inviting setting for all four of your classes.

Mystic is a quaint New England community built around the Mystic River, a few miles from Long Island Sound. You can walk into town, take a trip to the beach, go for a run along the Mystic River, use one of the Williams-Mystic sailing or power vessels or just enjoy (as no one else can!) 24-hour access to the Mystic Seaport grounds.

There's nothing like waking up and seeing the outline of tall ship masts outside your window and smelling the salt breezes. You will come to call this place home, too.
