We visited when my stepson was in HS, and it wasn’t for him. But I do know several people who went there and they all enjoyed their time the. They went on to careers in forestry, accounting, and a federal communications office director.

My cousin spent 2 years at Frostburg and hated the place, the students and the professors.

He said it was the worst experience of his life and regretted not taking MCPS high school more seriously so that he could have gone elsewhere.

He moved out west, got a masters in pharmacy and now his daughter, who followed his advice, is now at an Ivy.

Off campus housing has had issues with fires, lots of wood buildings.

Most successful graduate I know sells beer and school has had some accreditation issues. Look at Salisbury.

The grads I've know are all successful and nice people.

My son applied as college park was too big. The graduation rate for engineering concerned us...made a different choice.

Weird. Because of covid they should be staying put, not traveling around the state into different households each weekend...then returning to campus.

Suggests a really poor understanding of how disease transmission works. The school should be discouraging this.

I wanted to like it but it just seemed depressing and isolated. It was my safety school but I never really wanted to go there.

Would love to hear if your kid goes/went there and your thoughts.
