So far my college experience is really just beginning. I am currently an upcoming sophomore, and I haven't really gotten into the inner workings of my major but I am excited to finally get into them this semester. While I did not join many organizations last semester, I did in fact join one which is a modeling organization called models collective. I love this organization solely based on the fact that it's based around helping women and even men increase their positive self-image. If people are looking for an org I would highly suggest that one, accepts everyone no matter if you're a beginner. Although I do not love the dorm I stayed in, the campus itself is very small but quite beautiful. Especially, during the spring when the flowers are starting to bloom and the trees regain their leaves. The instructors I've encountered so far have been nothing short of great and they each take pride in their work. The student/ campus life is also great when it comes to events and parties.
The education at University of Maryland Eastern Shore is amazing! I just wish they gave us students more freedom on campus. There is a no “party” rule which is fine but it’s to a certain extent. We’re college students, they’ve all been there before.
This university is great if you utilize the opportunity to make connections with the professors and upper classmates. If you do, they will provide you with so many opportunities for scholarships and internships that will jump start your career. If you’re looking to just party, this school isn’t for that because it’s dry lol. But make sure you get good grades and show that you take your academic success seriously.
