Pros:
Classes/professors seem to be strong and responsive.
Nice walkable area with restaurants/bars/etc
Affordable
Good shuttle system to get off campus
Lots of clubs/oncampus activities
Available oncampus housing if kid wants to stay all 4 years (not guaranteed - but available.)
Lots of close by off campus apartments (some furnished/some not)
Cons:
It is definitely a suitcase school and the weekends can be dead until kids find others who stick around (however, my kids rarely come home.)
I would definitely recommend it
Anyone know if Loyola Maryland or Stevenson have more of a social scene on the weekends?[/quot
Loyola Maryland has more kids from out of state so less of a suitcase school. My son goes there.
