Smaller campuses so it is easy to get around. No cafeteria. Not every class is guaranteed each semester due to professor availability. They’ll cancel the class if not enough students sign up which is ridiculous. The hours for different departments are different which is inconvenient but you can look the hours up online. Meet with an advisor frequently to ensure you’re taking the right classes in case the recommended class sequence for the degree/program change. If you will be transferring make sure the other place will accept the credits. Everyone is friendly but clubs and social activities are scarce. Online is a bit hard to navigate at first but easy once you learn it. Some professors are hit or miss I would recommend you search them on ratemyprofessor. Staff is helpful. Some textbooks are expensive so see if there’s another option online or renting. Worth it if you want to save some money on education
College of Southern Maryland is a college. I chose this college because it was affordable for me and my family. Since I am doing online classes due to Covid-19, the classroom environment is great. This is my first year as a college student, and I had a lot of questions. Questions that had to do with, how to apply, what program should I consider, and help with a few assignments. Everyone who helped me were so nice to me and were very helpful to me. I enjoy being at the College of Southern Maryland!
What I really appreciate about the College of Southern Maryland is the friendliness of the staff. Every staff member I have come into contact over the last year has been extremely friendly and willing to help. I have been to 3 out of the 4 campuses and each class I had taken there has been very understanding about travel time and worked with my schedule and how long it takes me to get to a campus. each teacher understands that the break between classes (55 min) is just shy of how long it takes me to get to campus, so when taking an online class at home (due to COVID 19 restrictions) and then having to travel to campus for a Lab class, they understand that i cant always make it there on time due to how far away i live. This is just one part of my wonderful experience with the staff at CSM! when i was duel enrolled in high school with them, each professor understood that my course load was extremely heavy because of my enrollment in both establishments, and they were willing to help.
