Sophomore: Hopkins is great! There's always something to do - lots of student organisations, interesting classes, events, parties and places to go to in Baltimore. Labs are very open to taking on undergraduate research assistants. It is more of a struggle narrowing down potential activities to what I can manage than to find things to fill my time. Classes are interesting and a wide range is available. However, some of them are definitely challenging and take up quite a lot of time! It is also difficult to get and maintain a high GPA in most classes because everyone is super smart. Food options are not bad, it varies from time to time and depends on which dining hall but I'm mostly happy with it, and Baltimore has great food options. Dorms are also relatively clean and have good facilities. A disadvantage about Hopkins is the safety around campus, it is mostly safe but sometimes there are robberies or burglaries near campus....

Junior: The University of Maryland is truly a place like no other. Stepping foot on campus is like walking into an alternate universe. The students are excited, the campus seems to become more beautiful everyday and the list goes on and on. I have had such an amazing experience at Maryland so far and it can all be attributed to the spirit, culture and personality of the school. All professors are willing to lend a hand whenever needed and meeting new classmates each semester will always be one of my favorite parts. The classes offered are very interesting as they range from the psychology of happiness to Brazilian cinema, you can truly do it all here. I would not change anything about my experience this far academically but one thing I would like to see is a larger presence at our football games. We have so much spirit and we should all be going to cheer the players on! Other than that University of Maryland is truly a special place!... Read 5,516 reviews

Sophomore: St. Mary’s College of Maryland has taught me persistence, confidence and strive to do all my accomplishments so far. It has also made me appreciate my home town. As a commuter student I can stay close to friends and family and Pursue my undergrad degree. The campus is beautiful, professors are welcoming and help myself as a student to stay on track of what I love most. Everybody is so helpful! In the psychology field I’m glad I’ve learned so much through St. Mary’s. It helped me find my career path and informed me of local jobs around me. I always brag about my college and it has brought people to come as well!... Read 659 reviews

Sophomore: Towson University has a great community with a diverse community of students. I have met many students where I have been able to stay with connected with through social media and clubs. The main thing I appreciated about Towson University was their Student affairs community. They are very helpful and accomadating for their students, especially if you need help of some sort. Attending Towson University has been an amazing eye opening expierience due to its comfortable environment and ambitious students!... Read 3,388 reviews

Sophomore: During my freshmen year at Loyola I was apart of a program that took place two weeks before the start of the school year. During the two weeks I had the opportunity to make friends, make connections with staff and to get into the habit of managing my time in college. The program really helped me by allowing me to learn the layout of campus before most of the other incoming freshmen, get adjusted to college, meet new people and it helped me figure out how I can manage my time during the school year. All of my professors are flexible and helpful. If you may need extra understanding with material or extra time on an assignment they were really easy to talk with and they would give you additional resources like how to book tutoring if needed or an appointment with the writing center if you wanted someone to look over a pair and give you notes. I would like the shuttle system to be more organized, sometimes the drivers are rude and sometimes they take awhile to arrive.... Read 1,069 reviews

Sophomore: McDaniel has been the perfect fit for me. I feel as though they prioritize student success and really care about each individual student. The professors are amazing and the campus is gorgeous. The only thing I would change is maybe having some more food options, but other than that, I <3 the hill!... Read 712 reviews

Sophomore: For me, Goucher was completely the right choice. For many who start here, it is not. The students here are really wonderful and bright; a thoughtful conversation is never too far away. Yet many find that the atmosphere/academics are far from what they expected. Things to know -Very small and faces become familiar quickly -Right by downtown Towson but still a 20-30 minute walk since campus is secluded -Bus stop not too far and will take you into Baltimore (Inner harbor, Symphony, cinemas, etc)! -Professors are overall really great and I always know they want me to succeed -Small size means classes are sometimes canceled or postponed -Impossible to eat well if you have dietary restrictions -Goucher is in a stage of transition and there are a LOT of frustrations about facility management and lack of updates -The trails around campus are truly nice and fun -You must come out of your shell some to connect with the people on campus -Orchestra/choir/jazz are small but very mighty and fun...

Graduate Student: I did the 5 year BFA/MAT program! I just graduated with my MAT in 2022. MICA has its ups and downs. My experience in undergrad was complicated because of COVID-19 closures and restrictions. But, the MAT program adapted well to all the challenges! The MAT program is incredible, full of amazing professors and your cohort becomes a lovely community. MAT did an incredible job preparing me to become a k-12 art educator. My classes explored strategies, theories, techniques, planning, and more. While the 3 internships (student teaching) allowed for excellent hands-on experience! The 5 year program can be hard to balance, as you start to take graduate classes while you are working on finishing undergrad. Some majors are more flexible than others to fit the requirements. MICA is located in Baltimore, which also has its ups and downs. Baltimore has a great art scene. Bolton Hill is fairly safe, just be cautious as you would in any city and don't wander places you are unfamiliar with.... Read 546 reviews
