I was undecided which college I wanted to go to, but that all changed after I attended the McDaniel College’s Admitted Students Day Event. This event gave me a family like environment exposure from the campus atmosphere to the friendliness of the students and professors throughout the day. They had agendas that gave me an overview of school and campus life. The panels of students sharing their experience also allowed me to envision what student life on campus can be like away from home. I was able to meet professors’ of majors I was interested in studying and they discussed courses they teach, their teaching styles, and expectations. They also discussed how the classes will prepare you in the future. I also enjoyed hearing the alumni share their experience at McDaniel College and after graduating. This whole experience helped me solidify my decision to attend McDaniel College. This school does not limit what you can accomplish with the major or minor you pick.
McDaniel is very friendly and welcoming. Not only generous with scholarships, but always engaged with incoming and returning students, and they always try to put on some activities around campus to add more fun. I've met some great professors here that actually care about students. Of course every institution has some things to work on (such as- but not limited to- more awareness of diversity- addressing issues included) But with a better understanding of the minorities, the school would prosper 100%.
McDaniel has a strong value in treating its students as family members. The administration fully supports and guide every student by providing educational and emotional assistance for those students in need. The administration also has given students an educational and professional career plan that fully benefits the students' skills and experience. The facilities on the campus are very up to date, especially for students who major in kinesiology, business, etc. The campus is very safe and has a "security" watch for the campus.
