Review of University of Baltimore

from Woodstock, MD

Describe your college in three sentences.

UB is fun, sporadic, entertaining, and most importantly educational. UB is a great place to learn and grow through the various programs that are offered. There are specialization designed to meet specific needs of those looking to work in particular places.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Know what you need prior to applying. If you need transcripts make sure they are official. Have all your required information accounted for and in order. This will make your visit much more enjoyable. If there is a test that you need to take read the description of that test on line before going to take it. There is often a free prep course offered to students who need testing.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Academically the school is challenging and fast pace. When taking a full load of classes UB will keep you on your toes. On the other hand the work load is also reasonable, and can allow for extracurricular activities as well.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Wish I could tell you more about this. I have friends that love it here, but I commute personally. There are benefits to commuting here as well though. One benefit to commuting is the various types of transportation that is offered. If you drive you can park in several different garages. If you do not drive the metro drops off right next to school at Penn station.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Whether you're looking for something affordable like subway, or maybe something a little more up scale like the Terps sports bar, UB has it. As an even greater bonus, most of these restaurants are within a short and reasonable walking distance from school.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Being down town offers a wide variety to almost every type of person. If you enjoy working out for fun there is a gym on campus. If you like the party life you are right up the street from Power Plant live. If you into art you there are several great attraction just down the street, closer to the inter harbor. If you like the outdoors your just several minutes away from camping, biking, rock climbing and more. The list goes on and on ...

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

The school is not only decent but it also offers merit scholarships and transfer scholarships to prospective students.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

One of the greatest spots to grab a cup of coffee is the Barnes&Noble@UB. It's a great spot to study, catch up with friends, or even work on a research paper.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Nearly anyone who has an interest in the programs that are offered.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

The athletic and club opportunities here are great. There's plenty of opportunities to participate in clubs that range from jujitsu to soccer.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Wish I could say... I know several who love it down here, but again I am not one. Let's give it a 4/5.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

UB police are here and there. In addition to security the school also offers transportation to and from garages, that is for those who do not wish to walk or are simply not comfortable doing so.
