Bowie, MD
Bowie State University

To me, Bowie State University is one of a kind. We love every chance we get to shout out our amazing HBCU. Its a place filled with school pride and a variety of majors. It's perfectly sized where it's not too big or too small. The school community is very close-knit were everybody knows each other, often feeling like a big family. The professors actually care about the success of their students and they make a point to help and assist in almost any way they can. The environment is just uplifting and supporting that it makes a student feel as though they can do anything. The location of the Bowie State campus is also a great convenience. There are multiple restaurants and activity spots in the community. Astrip mall is also less than 15 minutes away from campus. While these might not seem like there importance, for people staying in the same area for a long time variety makes it easier to handle. Another great thing about Bowie State is the facilities. The buildings are not only new and updated but, so is the equipment. There are tools for whatever major you happen to be pursuing whether its fashion, psychology, nursing, or animation. Bowie also just holds a lot of amazing opportunities. From the multiple clubs, the Greek community, sports, and the study abroad program, there are just multiple ways to make connections. These advantages set students up for success after college life and help build long-lasting great relationships.

I am only a freshmen here at Bowie State University, but so far it is okay. I came her in the summer for a program called New Student Orientation and it was basically a glimpse of how college would be here(which was fun) and since school started it has been the total opposite. Some people on Bowie campus are very friendly but there are others who are very rude but that goes for all schools. The main thing I would say Bowie should work on is their organization. But for now it is not that bad, I will definitely keep feeding my eyes to see if this is really the school for me.

Bowie State University is has a true family atmosphere. Because the school is small, it is closer knit and you see familiar faces everywhere you go on campus. We have a lot of organizations to capture the interests and attention of the students. The majors offered have concentrations that help to truly focus on what you want to do with your future careers.

Overall, Bowie is a great school. There are many opportunities here to grow and expand what you can accomplish. Also, many of the professors are helpful and know how to lecture without being too boring. The only issue I have is the housing crisis because many students had to leave BSU because there was no more housing available.

Bowie is a great college overall. I am so glad to be a part of a Historically Black College. The atmosphere is great. There is no fighting and bad interactions that I have seen since I have been there. The food availability is great wish the hours were a little longer. The library atmosphere is great. The unique teaching differences keeps me on my feet and focused. I have a little difficulty with the financial aid department. Having to be advised every semester is a great thing in order to keep me on track to obtaining my Bachelor's degree. I love my college it is not perfect but it is just right for me.

I like the school. It's very welcoming and friendly. Bowie state has alot of opportunities for not just myself but for other students to explore as well. The campus has alot of places to explore. The faculty and staff there are friendly and very willing to help out the students in any way necessary and push to the students to better themselves, while also providing many opportunities for students to have fun and enjoy themselves.

Great

The campus is quite beautiful. The people that showed me around had many amazing things to say about Bowie State. Even though I have lived in the Bowie area for most of my life, Bowie State is a different atmosphere. The staff are always accommodating to their students and what they require. My overall experience is definitely positive.

Bowie State University is a very good school to attend. Majority of the teachers offer great help and want to see you succeed.There are many events held so there is always something to do. There are also many clubs and organizations that can be joined that either go with your major or joined just for fun. Since it is a commuter school housing is not guaranteed, if you apply for housing have a back up plan just in case you do not receive housing. The food options other than the cafe are the pub, c-store(convenience store), and the many kiosks around campus.

Bowie needs to put more funding and spending on building more dorm buildings for students, Bowie's campus is small with few dorms a lot of people are not eligible for on-campus housing. Some teachers at Bowie don't teach students to learn but do it because of REQUIREMENT. There needs to be better food and better school activities.
