Things/Places/Restaurants in or around Orono to see on visit to UMaine

I just got accepted to the graduate school at UMaine in Orono for Forestry, I’m really really really excited as it was my first choice and they have been amazing in the way they conduct their process! I am from the Midwest though, and have never actually visited the area. I’m coming to visit with my mom in about 2 weeks, and am looking for some suggestions on what to go visit, what restaurants I should try, etc. I’m trying to use grad school as an excuse to relocate to the state so I want to try to get a feel of the state as good as I can before I move there full-time! P.s. I’m not seeing anything about a subreddit or anything like that for the university, is there a specific place anyone knows of that students specifically chat? I figured Facebook but I don’t have one so I figured I might have to finally bite the bullet. Thank you in advance !!
