stevenson harbors a great learning environment for students who want the benefits of rigorous schooling and personal attention from their professors. not only will students have the opportunity to grow in their fields, but they will begin to make connections with students in various majors. however, know that the school isn't exactly a "party school;" be ready to attend tons of school sanctioned events instead.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
- definitely tour the campus at least once.
- submit your fafsa by the deadline stevenson sets to be considered for the highest amount of financial aid.
- scholarships, scholarships, scholarships! school gets expensive when you look at the big picture, and stevenson is no angel.
- ap classes are not structured like college course. i took four aps in high school, and they're not at all like how college courses are structured.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
expect to do work. stevenson prides itself on the high quality academics, and that's no joke.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
compared to most of the universities and colleges i visited before hand, stevenson has some of the nicest residence halls. note that it's "residence halls" and note "dorms." my freshman year, i stayed in a room with three other girls, but it had two separate bedrooms (2 girls in each room), a shared bathroom area (toilet and shower kept separate, so that people could use the restroom while another person used the shower), and it came with its own adjustable thermostat and a fridge and microwave. it was nice having space to spread out when in desperate need of relaxation (that wasn't a concrete floor. these floors are carpeted).
Describe the food and dining at your college.
as far as food goes, we have some really cool events, like elite dining, and the occasional cookout. we also have walter the cookie man who hands out fresh-baked cookies that are to die for. however, other than that, it's mostly generic university food.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
definitely join clubs, and, if clubs aren't your thing, keep an eye out for club-run events. there's always something to do on the weekends (and usually, you'll get free snacks out of it, which is a mega bonus). if that's not your speed, then you can take one of the stevenson shuttles to the metro station and romp around the inner harbor!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
we have a decent budget for student activities, so you can expect a good time and tons of cool events.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
we have two sororities, and that's it. the current head of student affairs doesn't particularly like greek life (and, to be honest, with all the bad rep that greek life has been getting lately, no one blames her at all). the two sororities are really friendly and either option is a good choice, if one is looking to pledge.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
to be frank: there are 243 cameras around campus. security is here 24/7, and they also patrol throughout the day and drive their van around at night, just in case. i honestly don't think it's possible not to feel safe.
