My experience at UMES could have been better. There are many issues with housing. There are also issues with the food. Also the location in Princess Anne, MD is pretty boring. However academically I think UMES is doing a pretty good job. I have learn so much since enrolling at UMES!
Driving into University of Maryland Eastern Shore campus for move in day was a bittersweet moment. As I became more open minded about the campus and what it has to offer me, I became more of a member of the school. UMES is an overall well rounded school and is all of what you make it while your are there. I plan on making the best out of my experience there. HAWK PRIDE...CATCH IT!
Being A senior, I can reflect back to the very first time I committed to UMES not knowing the emotional rollercoaster I would go on.Being at UMES has taught me college is what you make it. From the outside looking in, UMES is an unpleasant school to be at in the middle of nowhere. Now that I am very close to graduating, I now see that UMES was a school that overall taught me very valuable lessons on myself and how to interact with individuals in a professional manner. UMES taught me how to never take no for an answer, fight for what you believe in, and anything is possible with a little help form the school.
