    The teachers are quite intelligent, witty and know what they are doing. I can't stress enough how important it is to do your work, to do it good and on time.

    As a freshman in the begining of the fall semester I found a challenge finding how to adapt, but as the semester continued I started to enjoy it more and more and adapting and meeing people became easier.

    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.
    Great for these types of students

    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.

    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.
    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.
    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.
    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!
    Great for these types of students

    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.

    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.
    Am enjoying being here

    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.
    Bang for the buck

    In state tuition is not too expensive but of course it would be better if it was free :)
    Tips for prospective students

    Always remember you are in school to receive your education. SCHOOL MUST COME FIRST!! There will be plenty of time for social activities and part time jobs AFTER you have completed your school work.

    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.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    Great for these types of students

    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.

    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.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    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!
    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!
    Bang for the buck

    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.

    At first, I was not a fan of Morgan. Until I got involved into organizations! And Learn more about the college. Morgan grows on you as you put your work into being part of the school.
    Bang for the buck

    I pay out of state tuition, I do believe I should pay Less then what they want, Meal plans & Boarding and the other expenses could be either left out or cost less! but the tuition is a good price compared to other universities! But us! your money wisely when coming to Morgan. Your paying for your education! use every penny of it towards your education.

    You learn through your own intrinsic ability to take the information and apply it to your life. Therefore, if you have that drive then you will definitly learn a great amount from Morgan State University.
    Am enjoying being here

    It's pretty rough at first but once you step out of your shell and get to know people then you are able to enjoy the atmosphere for everything that it is.
    Bang for the buck

    For the amount you pay to go to Morgan some things are pricey, but the University is working on that situation to make the university more affordable to the students. So its a working progress.
    Tips for prospective students

    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.
    Great for these types of students

    If you are ambitious and audacious, desiring to be somewhere in which you want to learn more about yourself; including self will, self-respect, helping the community and helping yourself.Please consider Morgan.....

    I learned a lot in my General Chemistry II and History 106 classes.
    Am enjoying being here

    I transferred from an out of state college, and based on my experience here so far it was not very good. I had trouble with my Chemistry lab professor because when I asked him a question, he did not want to help and had a rather negative attitude towards our class.
    Bang for the buck

    I feel like some of the teachers I had did not care too much about the students and they just came to class because they had to.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you plan on majoring in a science, I do no think this is the best college choice. The science department has changed the way labs are done, from using the lab manual to figuring it out on your own based on a minimal information.

    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.

Morgan has a enormous amount of extraccurricular activites to get involved in. That's exactly what you want to do, get involved!

    morgan state university, founded in 1867, is a prestigious historically black university (hbcu). located in baltimore, maryland, the university is known for producing some of the most highly talented minority businessmen and engineers in today's work force. it is definitely a valued university and is held in the highest esteem among educators and employers alike.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    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.

    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.

    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.
    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.
    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.

    This college speaks to African-American children who ever thought they were on the wrong pace in a predominantly white school. Often I hear students that went to predominantly black schools complaining that they've been around black people all their lives and that they are dissatisfied.

    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.

    The Greek life is great the organization really go all out during the spring. They have step shows and do their thing. there friendly and help out allot.

    Campus safety is on point. There are campus police that are posted inside the dorm and outside in the police car. Then we have the security that walk around campus. Then we have the MSU exscort that takes you were you need to go all times of the day and night.

The main dining area for meal plans, an alternate option called the canteen which sells retail food (certain ammount of the meal cost can be deferred through your meal plan), a Subway restaurant on campus as well as various carry-outs, a highly-reccomended chicken spot called Sunny's and a McDonald's just across the street from the residence halls.
