Why Jason Likes His School So Much

"The classes"

The best classes I have taken so far have been International Business, African American Diaspora, and Marketing class.

"...going to campus held movies and other activities."

My favorite activity on campus is recreational activities such as basketball, football, shooting pool, swimming, and ping pong, or going to campus held movies and other activities.

"I have participated in many activities at other schools."

I have been to parties at Towson University, and John Hopkins University.

 

Why Jason Likes Going to School in Baltimore

"Baltimore is near my home and culturally very different from where I live."

I came to college in Baltimore because I am a Prince Georges County native. Baltimore is near my home and culturally very different from where I live. This cultural difference lured me to Baltimore because I wanted to experience a different area of Maryland rather then that of my home.

"There is always something to do and one does not have to travel far to find it."

The best thing about going to school near a big city is that there is never a dull moment. There is always something to do and one does not have to travel far to find. Even without a car there is public transportation to get a person where they need to go.

"What I like most about Baltimore is the sporting venues in one general area"

In Baltimore the Ravens and the Orioles stadiums are 100ft away from each other. And there are times where both stadiums are hosting games or events simultaneously.

"I would advise a student coming to Baltimore to make sure that they know the area before going out and exploring places."

And lastly, I would recommend a student to ask for help if they are unsure of certain areas in the city.

"There are lots of interesting facts about Baltimore"

Dr. Florence Rina Sabin of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore became the first female professor of medicine in 1901.

"...meeting new friends, parties, and staying in campus was [one of] the best experience I have had in Baltimore"

The best experience I have ever had in Baltimore was the access success program held at Morgan State University. It was a summer program that allowed students to get a head start on college credits for free while experiencing the college atmosphere.
