[quote=Anonymous]We are from outside of Baltimore and my daughter is a current freshman. She attended a small private high school, and I was a little nervous about her choosing such a large school, but she absolutely loves it. She’s made a lot of friends in her dorm, attended a few football games in the fall, just got into a sorority. There is a great vibe and positive energy on campus, and I feel this is why she chose the school. She loves that she can blend in and doesn’t know everyone and there is a lot to get involved in. Thon is their huge fundraiser that takes place this month that many students participate in. The flip side is classes are large, advisors can be difficult to get a hold of, kids have to advocate for themselves, go to class, etc. My daughter is a neurobiology major, and she takes it seriously. A lot of kids do not, skip class, drop classes late, party every night, have a hard time learning the balance. A few kids have already failed out and gone home, including an honors student who lived next door to her. So I guess it really comes down to the type of kid and how self disciplined they are. My daughter has really seemed to grow socially and has become more independent and responsible so we have no complaints. [/quote]
