George from Baltimore, MD
UB is centrally located in Baltimore, MD. No longer a graduate school taking on the adjustment of incoming freshman had gave UB a great opportunity to provide education to everyone of all walks of life.

university of baltimore is a great school not only for those students straight out of high school, but also the adult student returning to school. the ages and experiences of the students vary greatly, ensuring that every course you take has a myriad of new opinions. great instrutors!
Megan from Baltimore, MD
I find UB to be a school where learning is interesting and enlightening. Not just because of the teaching but because of the diversity of the students. The different back grounds and cultures bring learning to a different dimension by helping you see things differently and understanding things differently especially in Business courses such as ethical and global issues.
