Review of College of Southern Maryland

from Hughesville, MD

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I am learning several new things at this college. A great thing about CSM is that they teach you new and efficient ways to understand hard concepts than what they did in high school. It's terrific.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I enjoy being at CSM because not only are there a great range of academic classes and programs to be a part of, there are also great friends to be made here. The staff is also very helpful and I can approach my professors whenever I need help, unlike in highschool.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

The College of CSM gives you more experience and value for your money and always have ways to save you money. Such as scholarships, book sales or wholesale buy backs.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

I would definitely advise coming to CSM because you save a lot of money by going to a community college first and then possibly transferring to a 4-year university. Get as many scholarships as you can. Apply for financial aid, it really helps to. Buy your books when they have book sales and sign up for classes asap, or all the classes you need will be filled up. See an academic advisor and talk with your high school guidance counselor.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This school is great for students who wish to save a little extra money on tuition and/or want to transfer to a four year university because it allows them to get their general education courses out of the way at a cheaper cost and then spend the big money on what they want to study for their career.
