My opinion of this school has changed over the years. When I arrived for the first time, the campus was under critical construction on four major parts of the campus. At first I felt this process should have began years ago, but now I see how new students can benefit from the new materials, resources, and facilities. The school has about 7,000 students and can be walked from the most northern building to the most southern building in about 15 minutes. There is an abundance of school pride when it comes to involvement in sports and organizations, and they all work together to insure homecoming and major events are something for all to enjoy. This school is unique because it allows you to create your own unique education under certain guidelines of course. For example, I am and Electrical and Computer Engineer with a Minor in East Asian Studies. I have the ability to remain saturated in my technical field, while being exposed to a different way of living. The advisory staff at this institution truly motivate students to be innovative and promote diverse thinking. Overall, this school is great school to attend.

For a student I know that an important factor in deciding schools would be the staff. I want to say that there are staff at Morgan State University that love the students like their own, like family. The best thing about Morgan State University in the atmosphere for the students, also known as student life. It is great to know that there is always something going on whether that be educational of for recreation. It makes a student feel excited that they can go outside daily and meet new students that attend their school. Overall it is a great and safe time for all. One thing that I would like to change is to bring more types of food items to the school. We already have a variety on the daily basis but bringing more popular types like chick-fil-a or chipotle, I believe that students and staff would have an increase of appreciation and joy. Morgan State University is a school that is just right. There are enough students attending that you see a new face everyday. But there are also the right amount of people to where you will notice faces and see friends while you are walking to class or on campus. When I tell people that I attend Morgan State University their impression is astounding. They either are very excited because they know of the school or have either attended or had family and friends attend. Another reaction is that they state that I go to a very nice school. They go on to say we have a great campus visually, great majors, and amazing faculty that work there. Lastly they remember the band, the sports, and the overall student activities that Morgan is known for. There are many places that you can spend your time on campus. I would say that I spend a equal amount of time everywhere on campus; from classes, to the dorm room, friends rooms, the student center, outside, and the library. It all depends on a students goals and priorities to where and how long they will spend at each campus location. There is a college town here near Morgan State University. We are located in the heart of Baltimore, Maryland. For that we are located 20 minutes away from the Harbor which is a great tourist destination and for students as well. There is a boardwalk, shops, restaurants, and other attractions. Also around Morgan State University we are near the Towson Mall, Towson Town Center, and White Marsh. These areas involve a mall, a movie theater, shopping stores, super markets, Walmart, and other activities and necessities for college students. There is also a College Town Shuttle that is available daily that picks students up from surrounding schools and takes them to these hot spots as well. The administration at Morgan State University is based on community service. They are there to help you in any way you need. Many of the administration are open and friendly and end of becoming friends or parent like figures to many of the students. I know personally that there are a hand full of administration that I talk to weekly even during breaks. As for school pride there is a lot of school pride from current students, future students, and the alumni. You will see many people attend sports events and other functions. The biggest display of school pride would be during homecoming and for I Love Morgan Week. Our school and alumni go through a lot to make these times memorable for all who attend.

I love Morgan State University it is a well known HBCU and if faculty sees that you are interested in work they will most definitely look out for you. One thing I'd change is our access to information compared to other schools surrounding us as well as transportation to places off campus (mall, grocery, etc) The student population is just right so you aren't just a number, professors will pay attention to your needs if you make them known. There's a lot of school pride and students who attend love their Morgan family and the lasting memories and experience they've had.

My overall opinion of the school is positive. The best thing about the school is the diverse student body, the level of difficulty to gain admission, and the student based organizations and clubs. one thing I would improve is the student and faculty relationships. This can be done by simply encouraging opportunities for networking.. The size of the university is just right, giving students just enough time to commute from class to class. When i tell people I attend Morgan State University they coveny a level of respect and pride.

The best thing about Morgan is the resources. If ever i have a question or i am unsure of anything there is someone who can help. The staff is kind and patient with students. If they cannot answer your question, they will point you in the direction of someone who can. One thing about Morgan that i would change is its required student body meetings. I think there should be a little more in place to make us feel more as a unit then as divided as it sometimes feels. the student body is just right. Classroom sizes are perfect and professors are always willing to help those in need. People are proud and ask many questions about Morgan once i tell them that i am a student there. They ask if i would recommend they attend, and i always do. When on campus i spend most of my time in the library or in the student center. Both amazing new facilities that have anything a student may need to be successful. There are other schools within 10 minutes of Morgan that we often have parties with. The biggest recent controversy on campus was the Death of former Mr. Morgan Julian Benson. He was in a drunk driving accident however, this tragic event was an eyeopener to many on campus. It bought the Morgan community together and a calm throughout the campus. At football and basketball games students those living on campus and commuters alike come out and support the bears. One experience from Morgan that i will never forget is my first homecoming. There were so many people from the community that came out to support the school its history and most importantly our football team! The most frequent student complaints are the hours of the campus canteen and the lack of stability with the wireless connection.

Morgan State is a large university but it is still small enough to where you get to meet a lot more people throughout your years on campus. Because the classes are smaller than most universities, it makes it easier to communicate with professors and classmates during the semester. The only thing I would like to see changed is some of the school participation at events and more funding. We do not have many food options to choose from.

My overall opinion of the school is that it has very very educated teachers, not only will you learn about the subject but you will learn about life. The things I have learned in this university go far beyond information in textbooks. Every teacher I've had has come with wisdom they've passed down to us. The school is not perfect though, when it comes to financial aid being a hassle and schedules being dropped for no certain reason it makes it difficult to focus on the good that comes with school. The students are divided by those who are into school activities,groups, and organizations, and those who are their to party and have fun. It is easy to fall into the wrong crowd if you are not strong minded and in school for the right reasons. The teachers in my department which is psychology are always available to talk and easy to confide in if you have a problem. Being at Morgan you have to do alot of growing up, the school will not hold your hand. You have to stay on top of making your schedule, financial aid, passing your classes, knowing how to get a override, etc. The schools location was another thing I didnt like because it was in balitimore city, its very busy not much of a college location. Though it is close to other colleges that have more of a college scenery, such as Towson University. Their is a mall, walmart, etc. on that side of town which is nomore then 10 mins away. The campus is beatiful and they are still improving the campus. You have to be aware of your surrendings at all times, the school has had many crimes reported, robbery being the main one, Like i said before the school is in Baltimore city. Overall I enjoy and love my school very much, mainly because of my professors and what I have learned about my own history going to a Historically Black University!
