Suffolk is a private 4 year school, with housing. How is that similar to University of Baltimore which is a public school that only offers the last two years of undergraduate and doesn't have housing.

University of Baltimore isn't designed to be Pitt, or trying to be Pitt. It's serving a specific niche in the city of Baltimore, and not trying to be a comprehensive university.

If you want a school that is a public comprehensive university, like Pitt, in the city of Baltimore, you're talking about Morgan State. If you're willing to look outside the city, in the larger Baltimore metro area, UMBC or Towson are two strong 4 year schools.

I know someone who got his graduate degree there. Cannot recall the topic but location and tuition worked so he went!

Nontraditional students

I have several colleagues that went to UB for law school!

I think UBalt is good for older students, law school, etc but I’m not sure I’ve met anyone who attended undergrad there.

No. They are different universities. Their law school is pretty good. My dad went there at night while working all day. I only know one student who went there for undergrad.

UDC would be more likely. But both are unlikely because of the proximity of established competitors (Towson and Morgan State, GWU/CUA/Maryland/Howard).

No

I would think the candidate for being a strong public research university in Baltimore would be Morgan State.

It’s only jr/sr years of college - the finisher after community college. I’ve had law school interns from UB- generally solid and trying not to go into too much debt. But as an undergraduate institution I don’t see the appeal vs Towson for example.

It's not, yet.

How about a school no one on this board talks about: University of Baltimore

It offers undergrad, grad, and doctoral programs. It became a four-year university in 2006. It joined the University of Maryland System in the 1980s. Has a high acceptance rate.

It's a commuter school. Could they create dorms nearby to house undergrad students?

Any experience with Univ of Baltimore grads in your workplace? Experience with the school's teaching, curriculum, research opportunities?

Could it be the next Univ of Pittsburgh? Univ of Pittsburgh has Carnegie Mellon nearby. Univ of Baltimore has Johns Hopkins. Both in urban areas.
