By far, I loved my experience here! I was able to meet tons of new people and I liked the diversity (even though its a predominantly black university). The campus is always being cleaned and the lawn is always kept neat and tidy. Everything has been organized and plenty of clubs and events are held. The professors I've had have been wonderful and always open to help and take out office hours for me. I believe that as long as one keeps good balance with friends, college life, and school, they would have a great experience just as I did. I can't wait to attend this university for my sophomore year!
As a first time college student I feel that Bowie state was the right choice for me. The beautiful campus and culture is something everyone deserves to experience! Though, I am a pretty reserved person I don’t always put myself out there and the people I have gotten to know over the past year have truly been nothing but nice and understanding of my shy personality.
So far, I have enjoyed studying at Bowie State. All the instructors I have taken classes with had the attitude of chasing after success. The school has a lot of organizations and activities that keep students engaged even when we are not in classes thereby making attending college fun. There is also a health day where we are just taking time off class to unwind. There are different activities on those days such as therapeutic massages, counseling on mental health, sports, food truck and many more.
As an HBCU, the culture and history of the African American people can be felt in the school which is one thing I especially love. There is a real community of people here without discrimination which is why I will recommend anyone to attend this school.
