My first semester at the illustrious University of Maryland Eastern Shore was honestly one to remember. I was very nervous about starting my new journey in college. UMES taught me so much within such little time. I would like to see a change in the organization when it comes to some of the departments, but other than that, I'm really glad that I chose a university that feels like home. Go Hawks!
I am thankful for the opportunities I have been given and the memories that I have made at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. During my first year, I was challenged academically, made great friends, and was even able to participate in a study abroad trip to the Dominican Republic.
In terms of campus life and the administration, there are several changes that need to be made. One of the biggest issues on our campus is the food. It is below par and disappointing a majority of the time. School spirit also lacks severely, and the inability to do a lot both on campus and in the surrounding area also tends to drive people away from the University.
With all that said, I am genuinely enjoying myself. My friends have made my experience so special, and I am so happy that I decided to attend this University. I hope that necessary changes will be made during my next three years to improve the school to where it needs to be.

This is a beautiful campus with many amenities. Whether you are looking for a club to join or you need tutoring help after class, UMES has the resources available to help any student learn and understand the material given. Above all, it is one of the cheapest colleges to attend.
