Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Bowie State University is a close-knit community within a small community. Being the first historically black college and university in the state of Maryland, Bowie offers more than just an educational experience: It offers a reputation surrounded by history and tradition.

The people are also what make BSU a special experience. From the Greek life to the professors and faculty that are eager and willing to help students succeed, Bowie State University is not just an educational institution: It's a family supporting each other through a process of undergrad and graduate studies.

Professors

The professors on campus are bittersweet. Some care and some don't. Although I would like for them to help me, they don't. I really dislike Bowie State and I wish for no one to go here.
