I grew up in Anne Arundel County, moved away, and have since returned in my adult life! This was my home growing up and it still feels like it. I like the familiarity of it and I feel safe here. Everything I need is fairly close and convenient. Of course every place has it's pros and cons, but I like it here! I attended AACC and had a wonderful experience there as well. No bad things to say!
Anne Arundel County is a very diverse in terms of race and socio-economic status. It also offers many things geographically such as water access and trails. The public school system could use some help but overall is very good. Something that sets Anne Arundel County apart from others is the variety of programs such as IB, PVA, STEM, NJROTC, BMAH, CAT and others that help prepare for college and future jobs. The county could benefit from better steps towards environmental protection.
Some things I like about Anne Arundel County include what there is today around. Since this county includes Annapolis, there are many historic attractions to see. The county also has many fun events that go on, especially in Downtown Annapolis. The county also has everything you need, including clothing and grocery stores. Something I do think should be improved upon is falling the state guidelines, rather than making their own.
