Bowie State University primarily provided camaraderie with other people and essential experience concerning media vocations. I am grateful for the Honors Society that accepted me without difficulty and assisted whenever I requested help. Communication professors disseminated resources and advice about technology usage, opportunity applications, broadcast regulations, camera angles, product treatments, and schedule organization. The news anchoring and field reporting lessons were highly efficient in demonstrating the necessities of media businesses. On a minor note, the cafeterias have diverse food options and sufficient seating arrangements.
BSU should allow for a method to monitor card balance on their Bulldog Connection website. The DIT personnel should investigate how to improve or strengthen the on-campus internet connection. BSU should lower the costs of classes for those without membership in any programs.

Like every other University, Bowie State had to continue the second half of spring 2020 online. Being a student with a disability, and with the help from my peers and professors I was able to get my first 4.0 ever! My professors were always available at any time of the day or night to email me back with a response. They knew and understood that this was new and unexpected for both us and them and they remained calm and supportive throughout this entire experience. Unlike my friends at other schools, I won't be worried about returning to online classes this fall.
I give the overall experience at BSU a 3-Star here’s why. I am a transfer student and I just happened to transfer the semester during Covid-19. I wasn’t given much help with anything. I had to figure out my counselor via email and that was beyond stressful figuring out. I also haven’t gotten a real college experience ( joining school clubs, meeting people ,etc.) there are few things open on campus now . Curriculum at BSU is pretty okay. I’ve had only two professors throughout my matriculation that gave me problems. Overall BSU is an okay school it isn’t that expensive , academics are good, just communication is a bit off.
