    If you are financially down, love people, want to have a good time and learn all at the same time, you certainly should look into being a Morgan Bear.
    Tips for prospective students

    NETWORK! NETWORK! NETWORK! Morgan State is indeed a HBCU (Historically Black College) but that still does not mean the University is not diverse. This school has many different backgrounds of people coming from all types of life. So a tip from this sophomore, is to get to know people and learn from the different cultures. This advice is not just for Morgan State, but for anywhere you go. A open mind is the best mind. I would also recommend that you have a good communication pathway with your professors. This will help you get through college. Having the professors know who you are, are good for them, since they see you more than a student identification number, but more so as a individual.

    compared to other colleges and universities, morgan's tuition, room and board, and other fees are much cheaper. the saying, you get what you buy, does not apply to morgan state at all. although the fees are cheaper than a lot of other universities, you are definitely not getting a cheaper education.
    What to do for fun

    there are a variety of activities students can do for fun. aside from going to parties and clubs, the university hosts many events and activities such as talents shows, fashion shows, spoken words, etc. also, the residence halls offer a variety of events for their residents and guests such as wii nights, movie nights, rap sessions where every gets together and socializes, etc. if you were to ask students at this university what they can do for fun here, they will tell you that at morgan state university, there is always something to do!
    Food and Dining

    like every campus, food and dining is not perfect at morgan state university there are two main cafeterias, the refractory hall and the cafeteria in the student center. both places offer a variety of foods and a setting where students have the opportunity to sit back and do whatever they please. many times, students go into the dining halls to eat and socialize because the setting is comfortable. i would say that the food has it's ups and downs as any place that serves food does. but mostly, the food is delicious and always has me coming back for more, especially on fried chicken wednesdays!
    Dorm Life

    they say you meet all kinds of people when you go to college. living in a residence hall with all females has given me the opportunity to reach out and befriend many people, from all over the country. not only has my residence hall connected as one big family, but we have also gained a relationship with the other residence halls. all the residence halls have a unique relationship with each other and everyone is always striving to represent their residence hall because of how proud they are to live their. morgan state dorm and residence life is truly unique and special and i would definitely encourage anyone who has chosen to attend morgan to live on campus.
    Academic Rigor

    morgan state university has set fine standards and expectations for their students and faculty. since morgan state is one of the most well known hbcus in the state, they strive to ensure their students are doing their best academically and their faculty is doing their best to ensure that they are supporting their students on their path to a degree. from my experience, the faculty at morgan always takes the time to speak with me personally when i need to discuss grades, questions or any concerns in my classes. the faculty at morgan really go out of their way to create a personal relationship with their students to ensure that the students feel comfortable to come to them when in need and guide us. morgan state is excellent in setting standards and expectations for their students and faculty and is well deserving of our outstanding reputation as an hbcu.
    Tips for prospective students

    if you are considering attending morgan state university i advice you to take the time to check out all the opportunities morgan makes available to their students. many time hbcus are looked down upon but if you really looked into the university and saw what it's really like to be a morgan state bear, you'd see that this university has a lot to offer and is one of the best. even if you decide morgan is not where you see yourself attending, make sure you take the time to check all other options to find a school that is the best fit for you.
    In three sentences

    morgan state university welcomed me with open arms before i even decided on attending. they say you should choose a school that you can see yourself attending and morgan state is definitely my second home. the students and faculty are completely one of a kind and genuine and i can't imagine myself attending any other university than morgan state.

    Your college experience will be a much better one if you go in with a positive attitude and continue to have it. Some days you will get home sick but for the most part it really is a good place to be.

    As each semester passes I find that what i have learned in the previous semesters build a foundation for what I am currently learning. If you actually read your textbook you will find that your understanding of the lectures will be much greater.

    MSU is good for African American students looking to pursue engineering, students that are looking for a HBCU experience in the state of Maryland, and for students that are looking for a thriving party scene to release tension during college.
    Tips for prospective students

    1. It is probably better to take Math 113 and Math 114 instead of ENGR 101. 2. Take a medium course load during the first semester of your freshman year. It'll give you some time to get used to the environment. 3. Know yourself well enough to pick classes at times that work for you. Don't pick 8 am classes if you hate early mornings and don't pick night classes if you like your evenings free. 4. Pick friends that encourage you to study and want you to succeed. Good friends will help you get through college. 5. Talk to your advisor! They will help you do what you need to do in order to graduate on time. 6. Talk to upperclassman, they'll tell you which teachers to take and which ones to avoid!
    Bang for the buck

    The engineering program at Morgan State is a really good program and my sole purpose for attendance. I do have one class that had a lack of organization that is potentially hurting the class as a whole in the long run. For the most part, the education that I'm getting is acceptable.
    Am enjoying being here

    I'm not really enjoying MSU. There is a lot of violence surrounding the campus and that's not something I'm used to. I'm also not much of a partier and that seems to be the activity of choice here. The school is not in walking distance of any other activities for the most part, unless you count Towson Mall which is accessible by the public transportation system.
    Am learning a lot

    While I am learning here at Morgan State, I can't say that the level of education is actually challenging. Emerging from an intense pre-engineering program , Project Lead The Way, the level of difficulty at Morgan is lacking the intensity I believed I would find on the college level.

    Morgan is great for those wanting to attend an HBCU and for those looking to attend a school where the teachers all want to see you succeed and are willing to help you in any way that they can.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get everything (housing, financial aid, etc) taken care of as soon as possible. You don't want to find yourself scrambling at the last minute; it creates too much of a headache. ASK QUESTIONS. You will never know unless you do. Make the effort to get to know your professors. Contrary to popular belief, they are not as hard-nosed as they appear to be. Schedule your classes wisely. If you are not a morning person, don't schedule an 8 AM class. You're college experience is what you make it. Get to know people, but at the same time know whether or not the people you meet will help or hinder your progress.
    Bang for the buck

    Out of state tuition can definitely be a pain, but with scholarships I am able to go to school here for next to nothing. The Honors Department is willing to work with you to ensure that your college experience is not filled with financial worries.
    Am enjoying being here

    I am a member of various student organizations, and each one gives me something to do with my free time. I do not go to parties at all, and these organizations allow me to use my time wisely.
    Am learning a lot

    Along with the education I am receiving in the classroom, being so far away from home gives me the opportunity to really grow up. I have learned so much about myself in the year and a half that I have been here. I value the lessons I am learning while on this campus.

    I Love My School! Everyone makes Morgan seem like a bad school because of its city, but it is all the opposite. Morgan offers lots of scholarships, and major programs. The professors are very helpful and understanding. There are also tutoring services and labs on campus for students 24/7. Morgan is also known as a party school, that is not true at all. As long as you follow through with your responsibilities, keep your grades up, and balance your time all of the activities on and off campus will not effect you. Go Bears!!!

    Definitely worth it for in-state students, not so sure about out-of-state students. If you have a good enough GPA, try getting into the Honors Program. Their standards are high, but the full scholarship is definitely worth the work.

    Despite being one of the few white students at an HBCU, I am quite comfortable. I have found no one who has been racist towards me, though I often get the question Why did you decide to come to Morgan?

    To be grounded and know that it is okay to not know. Its okay to be somewhere and not know what you want to do for the rest of your life. Just live and learn that college will take you to a place where you will learn just exactly what it means to be passionate about life and your future. DONT BE AFRAID.

    Campus Safety

    campus is pretty safe, however; baltimore city is home to a lot of crime and morgan is located next to a few areas where crime is predominant. since we are an open campus students do have to be careful during certain hours of the night. however, there is a very significant and visible police force, and there is even a mobile alert system in place. in general most students feel very safe.
    Greek Life

    morgan state has a thriving greek life in which all of the divine nine original hbcu fraternities and sororities are flourishing. the highest numbers are in deltas, akas, kappas, omegas, and sigmas. there are also band, social, and other greek organizations. the various groups hold many on campus events from open mics and parties to scholarly luncheons.
    Clubs and Activities

    everyone will find something to do at morgan state. there are fashion clubs, sports clubs, art and film clubs, as well as the knowledgebowl club. aside from the extra curricular there are clubs focused on academics such as finance and accounting clubs. on campus there is a theater for movies, a gym for working out and recreation, practice fields for sports, and there is also a game room. these areas are frequented by students, but most students choose the sporting events as their main source of fun.
    Great for these types of students

    students that want to try a new environment an get in touch with their culture. great for accountants, business majors in general, engineering majors, and philosophy majors to name a few. its also good for students who are outgoing because there are lots of opportunities.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    the promethean procession involves freshmen students carrying lit candles across campus. while this goes on upperclassmen try to blow out the student's flames. once across campus students count the number of times their candle has to be re-lit and this signifies the number of years they will spend at morgan.
    Bang for the buck

    morgan graduates are hired at greater rates every year. morgan is one of the top four universities in terms of graduates that go on to earn a ph.d. there are many grants and scholarships based on need and merit as well. the major bang for the buck factor is noticed mostly after graduation when employers and graduate schools notice the weight and prestige that morgan brings.
    What to do for fun

    baltimore is a college town, and there is a lot to do for fun. baltimore collegetown is an organization that passes out pamphlets each year on what's trendy in the college scene. they also run a bus service that students can use to get to some of the attractions in baltimore. on offer is the baltimore harbor which has an aquarium, numerous concert venues, great eateries, and many bars for the seniors. there are also $5 friday night student games to support our beloved orioles. other sports fans can watch the ravens play or get involved in the numerous sports leagues around the city.
    Food and Dining

    students in dorms are required to have a meal plan for the two on campus cafeterias. the food is hit or miss, to be honest. the rawlings dining hall is the major cafeteria and offers options of two different hot entres, a burger and deli section, a salad bar, pizza line, cereal funnels, waffle makers, and beverages. we are sponsored by thompson hospitality who also work at towson and other maryland schools.
    Dorm Life

    dorm life at morgan is going through a few changes. there are currently four male residence halls and 2 female residence halls. most are old stone establishments that have been renovated. a focus is being made in fully renovating all dorms, adding full campus wi-fi, as well as beautifying the campus. morgan also offers off campus housing in adjacent apartment complexes owned by the school. these are usually more sought after for upperclassmen. the campus community is very neighborly and friendly. eventually students come to feel a home on campus as you get to know everyone.
    Academic Rigor

    as an honors student in the earl g. graves school of business and management i can attest to the rigors of academia at morgan. there is a steady course load in each class with focus on cognitive participation from students, not call and answer teaching. there are usually multiple tests and quizzes in a course as well as the midterm and final. most classes also involve a term paper or project to further test your knowledge. a multimedia approach is standard, and most classes will utilize blackboard which is an online web module that allows teaches to post assignments and videos online.
    Tips for prospective students

    when considering morgan look into applying for university honors scholarships these scholarships require you to maintain a minimum gpa of 3.0 while taking at least 15 honors credits, but they pay considerable amounts of money towards tuition to augment soaring college costs. another tip for prospective students is to consider what morgan can offer in their major. the earl g. graves school of business and management and the school of engineering enroll the most students. lastly, visit campus! take a tour, come on an unofficial visit, stop by, you should literally do all you can to acclimate yourself to campus and campus culture to make sure morgan is the place for you before your first week of orientation.

    The breakfast is Great but early.The lunch and dinner is good sometimes they try to switch it up as much as possible. Friend Chicken Wednesdays is everybody favorite night! but if you don't like the food there's a save-alot right across the street and were allowed to have microwaves and refrigerators in the dorms.
    Dorm Life

    Your living in a dorm full of woman! from all over there's going to be some good and bad times. Sometimes it can be loud.... music, arguing, playing in the halls,,fire alarms and people coming back from parties We have a curfew and no boys allowed as overnight guest. The R.A's are cool and host a lot of positive event's about anything from sex,friends,pregnancy,drugs,studying, poetry slams, etc... The dorms are safe and clean, maintenance and cleaning is there everyday
    Academic Rigor

    Even though alot of work is due online , you have to go to class!! , thats where I began to mess up. During the middle of the semester the library becomes the hang out spot, don't go with friends!,and don't study in the common areas. The class room sizes aren't huge so you can get that one on one attention if your not to embarrassed to ask for it and learn your professors office hours!
    Tips for prospective students

    It's very easy to get side tracked with all the activities and parties going on, get your studying in during the day so you can participate without distractions. Must stay on top of your finical Aid! because Morgan offices are extremely crowded and behind on deadlines.

    I started at this school and I've been busting my butt ever since to get back. I love attending a H.B.C.U and Morgan has you surrounded with nothing but successful African Africans. I appreciate that Morgan has given students with low G.P.A's a chance to attend school.

    The dorms are a little dated. The rooms are rigid but there is good reason. As Morgan moves into new frontiers, the resident life program will improve.
    Academic Rigor

    There are a host of professors and departments that have set policies with strict guidelines. This seems daunting but really benefits the student. There is a zero tolerance policy for disregarding these guidelihnes. Accept that challenge and there will always someone there to help you overcome these obstacles. It doesn't hurt to really get to know your professors. They will extend services that will contribute to your advancement whether in understanding a concept or a leg up in your perspective career field.

    Dorm Life

    The dorms on campus are newly furnished with wood frames; which means alot coming from my freshman year when we had ugly metal furnishings. An opportunity for off campus housing in Morgan View and Marble Hall Gardens Apartments are a great choice for upperclassmen.

    Campus Safety

    Campus Security does the best they can. We haven't had any big incidents on campus so the police do, do their job. The officers on campus are very friendly and helpful as well.
    Greek Life

    The Greeks are all cool people, they also help out around the campus whether it be serving at the Cafeteria or cleaning up. Each frat has their own personalities. They are very fun people to meet with.

    There are allot of clubs to be apart of, you just have to search for the one that your most interested in. Each club has there own set of activities some of them might do during the weeks that school is in. But its all about finding the club that fits you and interests you the most because each club is fun and is a learning experience in some way of life.
    Great for these types of students

    If you like diversity, then you would love Caribbean week. If you are interested in Greek Life then you would enjoy going to the probates. If you enjoy helping the community then you would love the Community Service Clean ups that the school has.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Usually at dinner time the Refac (cafeteria) is the place to go when its time to eat because its a buffet style. Unusual locations to hangout would be outside in the middle of campus outside of the dorm named Cummings, when the sun is out and its a good day. Another place to hang out would be around the practice field. For some reason people like to walk around and hang out there..
    Bang for the buck

    There are certain things that can be approved upon, and certain things you shouldn't have to buy because of how much tuition costs now. Other than that its a well spent investment
    What to do for fun

    I met some friends and together we created a dance crew on campus. I also go for walks and you can also catch the collegetown shuttle either downtown or up to Towson; which is where the closest Mall is. I also go to the different events held on campus.

    The food is adequate at Morgan. I wish they had more of a variety but you will enjoy it. The desserts are always good and breakfast on Sundays are great. But beware, if you don't know what it is I advice you not to eat allot of it.

    Campus Safety

    Robberies and violence do occur on campus, but it only happens to kids wondering around at three and five in the morning up. The Campus is between Morgans police department and Baltimore's police department so nothing Major ever happens.
    Greek Life

    All the major ones are on campus and active. you do have to have a 2.5 in order to pledge.
    Clubs and Activities

    Any club you can think of is on this campus and if you don't see one you'd like they welcome you to start it.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who want to get away, focus on studies, learn more about there race and be prepared to give back to community after graduating.
    Bang for the buck

    your getting exactly what you paid for by coming to Morgan. A good education, a place to meet new people from around the world and a chance to get away from your parents.
    What to do for fun

    There is always a talent show, spoken word, open mic, game night or seminar going on around campus. There is also a free college shuttle that takes you to neighboring colleges, the mall and downtown Baltimore to see the sights. Of course there are parties... lots of parties.
    Food and Dining

    The food will taste great for the first month but after that its awful. There are a lot of carry out places in the area that deliver but not many choice for a healthy diet.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms aren't all that great but there is a brand new state of the art library and student center so students really don't stay in there dorms at all. They are visitation rules in place that prevent anyone from staying over night or past 10pm on weekdays and 12am on weekends.
    Academic Rigor

    The education really prepares you for your career and the professors will actually take the time to get to know you and help you during office hours. The only way you can really fail a class is to sit there and do nothing.
    Tips for prospective students

    Dont be afraid to ask for help or get stuck out at all the parties around campus. That is the easiest way to fail at this University. Help is only given to those who ask for it and every party is the biggest party so its cool to miss a few and just study.
    In three sentences

    Morgan State is an HBCU that gives those who have the desire to learn an opportunity to do at a decent cost. The education is top notch, and the smaller classes give you a chance to learn and apply material to your life instead of memorizing and repeating to pass an exam. It would be a lie to say its the best college/university in the world but if you make it through matriculation at Morgan you can make it anywhere.

    I think the school could give and do a little more, but it's bearable.
    What to do for fun

    Morgan is somewhat of a party school (if you know the right people) so try to be very social and meet people because it will definitely help when people are deciding who to text about the house parties.
    Food and Dining

    There are not alot of options as far on campus dining, and the food is not that good. The hours are also less than satisfactory ending around 8pm so no late dinners.
    Dorm Life

    The dorm rooms are about average, but try not to bring to much stuff because it can get very cramped before you know it so pack light you can also go to Towson mall to get more stuff. But I will say that the dorm RA's are bull and don't even do there jobs, so if you have a problem don't even bother going to them cuz it will be a waste of time.
    Academic Rigor

    The teachers are very serious about there jobs, and you will have to work to pass all of your classes. But they do understand that it is somewhat of a party school so they are willing to work with you every now and then.
    Tips for prospective students

    It is best to try and get involved in some type of club or team, because Morgan is a very social school and can help you adjust to being in a new environment.

    Morgan states campus is working effortlessly hard on improving the safety of others. the environment on campus has improved within a year with lighting on campus and the amount of patrol officers. Because of the recent shootings on campus, Morgan is in effort for a huge change on knowing the difference of Morgan students and non Morgan students.

    At Morgan State University has Thompson hospitality as their caterer for the food services on the campus. the food that Thompson hospitality is getting better than in the past a lot of variety is being offered which is making students more happy especially with them paying money for it.
    Dorm Life

    Dormitories at MSU are nice, they could use much improvements but that is what students are fighting for right now, we fight for change a lot here at Morgan State University. The dormitories give you what any other school would give you, a bed a dresser and a desk which is what is the main necessities in a dorm room.
    Academic Rigor

    The work load at Morgan is challenging which is good for students attending a HBCU because outsiders always believe that African Americans always want the easy way out. That stereotype is not true, because we work as hard as any predominately white institute around the country.
    Tips for prospective students

    Students that plan to attend Morgan State University (MSU), need to have the drive to do better than before. Students that decide to come here should be aware that MSU is an open campus in the city of Baltimore. MSU is a great environment where even though it is a HBCU there are multiple diverse people here at the institution that make the experience one of a kind.

    Someone gets robbed every week. This semester there were 2 shootings. It's not the safest campus, but Hey! it is in the Urban/City area of Baltimore, so what do you expect.

    What to do for fun

    There are many things to do for fun at Morgan State. You can join a club, do intramural sports, go to on campus parties, explore the city of Baltimore, etc.
    Food and Dining

    The food at Morgan State is decent, but I wish it had more variety. There are only two main eating locations, the cafeteria and the canteen. The canteen doesn't give students a lot of food, which is not desirable for someone who likes to eat a lot. The cafeteria is all you can eat, but they fix the same food items often which makes it less desirable.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are decent; however, there are no single dorm rooms except for the ones at Morgan View which are very expensive. This is a negative in my opinion because I like to have my own space and Morgan doesn't really have many options for that.
    Tips for prospective students

    College is a big step and should be taken very seriously. Unlike high school, no one is going to tell you what classes to take, when to take those classes, remind you about assignments, etc. In college, your treated like an adult and your responsible for your education, so make sure you stay focus and you will do well.

    The Greek Life here is great. Some of the chapters here show more of a brotherhood and sisterhood though. The step shows are always good to watch, and a lot of times you will walk to class or to the student centers and here one of the Divine Nine say their call.
    What to do for fun

    During the week there is always and event taking place in the student center. Many of the organizations on campus, both Greek and non- Greek, have meetings and specific weeks where they have several events every day (i.e. church service, and maybe a talent show later on in the week).
    Food and Dining

    The food is healthy, but often times the food selection is repetitive. For example in the canteen (the food court in the student center), the food choices do not change for lunch and dinner, but the FOCUS program here at Morgan is working towards getting better vendors so that we may have more of a variety to our food choices.
    Dorm Life

    The dorm life is exceptional. For example, the proper sanitation level is below par for some of the residents in the dorm. After your first semester, however, you have the option of moving off campus so you may meet your sanitation needs
    Academic Rigor

    The academics here are very rigorous. Often times you have some easy courses to help balance out your work load.

    Make sure that you thoroughly look into this great university. This school is most praised for its Engineering, Business, and Fine Arts Program. If you are a fashion, nursing or psychology major, I wouldn't advise you to enroll here because you may not be satisfied because those types of majors aren't highly praised here.
