Baltimore Is an Amazing Place to Be

There is so much to do in Baltimore; it's always fun to go down to the Inner Harbor, and there's always a concert or something going on somewhere near there at night. The aquarium is alos great, as well as a lot of historic sites in the downtown area. It's also really easy to get into DC by train. While the Orioles might not be competing in the World Series any time soon, they have a great student discount, and the games are a lot of fun. The Ravens are right around the corner too. While the city can get a little sketchy at night in certain areas, the people are usually very friendly, and I don't think they have any problem with all the college students. I've had so many random conversations with strangers when waiting for the bus. It's really a great place to be.

Accessible for Everyone

There are so many computers in the Ath, it's crazy.They're extremely accessible, and there are even classrooms full of them that you can access when there aren't classes happening. There are macs and PCs, and all of the Mac desktops can also use Windows. There's really something for everyone. For Laptops, there is Wifi all over campus in every building, and way faster than my internet at home. You get your own password to access the internet (and the computers), so the internet here is very safe, too. Printers are accessible all over campus, and while I would recommend your own computer, it's not hard to get by without one.

Could Be Worse

The Office of Student Engagement plans a lot of different events on campus, most of which are themed dances or game-night type things mostly attended by underclassmen. Upperclassmen seem to go off campus - there's tons of other schools around Baltimore and many people take advantage of that. We usually get a movie that's about to be released on DVD almost every weekend. There's no big Greek life with drunk people sprawled everywhere, but people definitely know how to pre-game here. It's not a party school, but there's always something for everybody.

A Happy Medium

Apparently this winter has been out of the ordinary, but it's been gorgeous here since February. Everything's green, and it's warm and sunny during the day. About once a week, there's a rainy, kind of gross day, but the pretty days far outnumber the bad. You get a nice mix of north and south, with a little bit of snow and a lot of sunshine. It get's pretty hot over the summer, though.
