    if you want to experience the business atmosphere and you love accounting and finance; university of baltimore is everything you can have asked for or wanted. my accounting teachers not only show a vested interest in my success but they've already become my mentors. i've already met so many firms and professionals that my young professional career has started. the smaller classes, the friendly professors, and the campus where you start to know everyone is amazing!!!
    Tips for prospective students

    this is our time to get involved! it's not who you know, it's who knows you! meet people, enjoy life and be a student! do everything you can on campus! and just have fun.
    Academic Rigor

    you have to limit your working time and you education study time. you need to balance everything. at first i thought i didn't have to take the time to study. soon as my accounting tests came. i was in trouble and my 78 wasn't looking to good. my classes are definitely tough but i know i'll be prepared for the professional world when i'm finished! as with life. we need to put the hard work, dedication and sweat into everything we do! rome was not built in a day and nor was our education.
    Dorm Life

    there building the traditional apartments and rooms now. u.b has apartments and housing for students but they're not right on campus. that is changing very soon though.
    Food and Dining

    you can go anywhere in the city for free. best of all is the food places within walking distance. whatever food preferences you have. the city has so many option. from subway, chipotle, sub shops, chinese, sushi, etc. there's everything you could have ever asked for.
    What to do for fun

    once you start to know everybody you know everything that's going on. there's is always some event with either varsity u.b, the student involvement center, the law center or some speaker presenting something. you'll always have something to do, and there's always sports. if you don;t like sports. u.b has pool tournament, madden, video games, basketball tournaments, soccer volleyball etc. so many options!

    Campus Safety

    there's always more then enough officers to assist you with any problems. if anything of importance needs to be told to us we'll get an email. once you start to know the officers, you know you're safe. if you even think your being followed or watched you can always ask someone to walk you to your car and they will.

    university of baltimore is a great school not only for those students straight out of high school, but also the adult student returning to school. the ages and experiences of the students vary greatly, ensuring that every course you take has a myriad of new opinions. great instrutors!
    Academic Rigor

    challenging but not overwhelming

    there are lots of great dining options within walking distance of the school. chipotle, subway, starbucks, numerous pizza shops, sushi, everything you could dream of.
    What to do for fun

    there are nice bars nearby if you're looking to unwind. if you want something a little more refined, there's the meyerhoff symphony hall and the lyric opera house nearby.

    UB is fun, sporadic, entertaining, and most importantly educational. UB is a great place to learn and grow through the various programs that are offered. There are specialization designed to meet specific needs of those looking to work in particular places.
    Tips for prospective students

    Know what you need prior to applying. If you need transcripts make sure they are official. Have all your required information accounted for and in order. This will make your visit much more enjoyable.

    If there is a test that you need to take read the description of that test on line before going to take it. There is often a free prep course offered to students who need testing.
    Academic Rigor

    Academically the school is challenging and fast pace. When taking a full load of classes UB will keep you on your toes. On the other hand the work load is also reasonable, and can allow for extracurricular activities as well.
    Dorm Life

    Wish I could tell you more about this. I have friends that love it here, but I commute personally. There are benefits to commuting here as well though. One benefit to commuting is the various types of transportation that is offered. If you drive you can park in several different garages. If you do not drive the metro drops off right next to school at Penn station.
    Food and Dining

    Whether you're looking for something affordable like subway, or maybe something a little more up scale like the Terps sports bar, UB has it. As an even greater bonus, most of these restaurants are within a short and reasonable walking distance from school.
    What to do for fun

    Being down town offers a wide variety to almost every type of person. If you enjoy working out for fun there is a gym on campus. If you like the party life you are right up the street from Power Plant live. If you into art you there are several great attraction just down the street, closer to the inter harbor. If you like the outdoors your just several minutes away from camping, biking, rock climbing and more. The list goes on and on ...
    Bang for the buck

    The school is not only decent but it also offers merit scholarships and transfer scholarships to prospective students.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    One of the greatest spots to grab a cup of coffee is the Barnes&Noble@UB. It's a great spot to study, catch up with friends, or even work on a research paper.
    Great for these types of students

    Nearly anyone who has an interest in the programs that are offered.
    Clubs and Activities

    The athletic and club opportunities here are great. There's plenty of opportunities to participate in clubs that range from jujitsu to soccer.
    Greek Life

    Wish I could say... I know several who love it down here, but again I am not one. Let's give it a 4/5.
    Campus Safety

    UB police are here and there. In addition to security the school also offers transportation to and from garages, that is for those who do not wish to walk or are simply not comfortable doing so.

    Am learning a lot

    I find UB to be a school where learning is interesting and enlightening. Not just because of the teaching but because of the diversity of the students. The different back grounds and cultures bring learning to a different dimension by helping you see things differently and understanding things differently especially in Business courses such as ethical and global issues.
    Am enjoying being here

    I am gaining a wide range of perspectives just from my classes at UB. I took of a few semesters and attended another University and I returned to UB for the real world perspective.
    Bang for the buck

    The value of the education is enhanced by the student body and the resource offered by the school.
    Tips for prospective students

    When choosing a school make sure to do due diligence in researching the school and the resources.
    Great for these types of students

    From my point of view Business and Law students gain valuable learning experiences from the diverse student body at UB.

    It is a nice campus in the heart of downtown Baltimore. Everyone that attends the school has a sense of creativity and are hard workers. The campus life is not great but there is so much to do outside campus since the school in the city.

    Building relationships with you professors will not be hard because the professors at UB actually take the time to reach out their students. So when they do take advantage of that opportunity to ask questions.

    UB is centrally located in Baltimore, MD. No longer a graduate school taking on the adjustment of incoming freshman had gave UB a great opportunity to provide education to everyone of all walks of life.
    Tips for prospective students

    Review all of your options when applying for college. Take into consideration the entire cost and what you plan to study. Understand that there maybe a school cheaper that provides what you want to study.
    Academic Rigor

    I wouldn't call the academics at UB rigor, I would say that its passionate. The staff and faculty here value education and betterment for the students. The good thing about it is that professors are teaching in their professions, so as a student you have first hand knowledge.
    Dorm Life

    UB most recently took on the project of dorm life with their new housing called VARSITY. Its sophisticated, modern and chic.
    Food and Dining

    I huge variety of choices. Indian, Japanese, American and Indonesia.
    What to do for fun

    By UB being in midtown Baltimore as a student you have access to museums, independent films and play productions.
    Bang for the buck

    Fairly reasonable in tuition, cheaper than other campuses close by. As of today 04/19/12 tuition is about 4,000 per semester.
    Greek Life

    There is no greek life at UB but student government and staff understand the importance it is to their students. There has been many forums and discussions about hosting chapters on campus. We just hope that the best choices are made for the students and the university.
