I am in the engineering program at Morgan, which is completely different from the rest of the campus. The engineering program is very supportive of their students. It's like a family and they push their students to succeed. After falling behind in my course work specifically my math and physics classes, I was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome which explained a lot. I then recieved extra time to complete coursework and tests and I am doing much better thanks to the counceling center and my engineering professors. Without them I would probably still be struggling.

To me, your life is a function of your choices, and to choose rightly is of equal importance. My choice of morgan is as a result of accssibility, affordability, and wide range of courses. Morgan State University is located in the inner city of Baltimore where it is easily accessible to all; whether or not you drive or ride on the bus. Also morgan has made higher education affordable. Unlike most schools, morgan has a lot of scholarships' opportunities and fewer fees, just to make school affordable. Lastly, Morgan has variety of courses of study that sudents can choose from.

Morgan State has a ton of programs for student enrichment and college readiness. I was selected for the 2013 CASA Program. This program was from July 1 through August 9th. It was an intensive six weeks, but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, life coaching, mentorship, and academic support. I feel prepared and looking forward to a successful freshman year this fall.

The best attribute about my school is that it is based on a foundation that’s built upon Dignity, Prosperity, and Commitment because these principles have allowed me to become apart of the fabric that makes Morgan State University. I was able to know my peers, not just as my ‘peers’, but as my very own family. A family where we all helped each other and acted as one; coming together for a common goal. The connection I formed here with my peers, professors, and university, will forever strengthen my being and knowledge of what true friendship and family is.

Shari

Its more of a family type of campus, theres so many people that state they don't like Morgan State or can't wait to leave but at the same time all these people still come back for Homecoming and have a ball! Parties are always fun if you go to the right one, cops and all you still have a story to tell in the morning. Unlike many schools where you don't know where everything is, at Morgan within a week you know where everything is. The students also make the school which is why I believe Morgan State is so unique, there are some great connections here, you just have to get yourself out there.

Shari

There are a couple dorms at Morgan State, most females stay at Blount their first year while males usually stay in O'Connell. From living at Blount my freshman there are some ups and downs. The rooms are a good size but when you factor in living with another person everything becomes so much smaller, so you have to hope and pray your roommate is clean and easy to get along with. You share a bathroom with the 3 other rooms in your quarter, and they are set up like basic public bathrooms with 4 showers added. The bathrooms are cleaned every morning so they don't get too out of hand. Since it's 8 floors of females...of course theres drama, its destined to happen. Fire alarms were pulled randomly at all hours of the night, making everyone stand outside for a good 15-20 minutes. Now as for O'Connell, rooms are about the same size as in any dorm 2 people to a room and there are 3 floors. Every floor shares the same bathroom in their hallway so you can only imagine how that would look, from all that I heard I'll never stepped into the bathrooms there. Every dorm also has visitation hours during the week visitors can stay until 10:30 I believe and weekends its until 12am, but because of some behavior visitation gets suspended a lot. Males can stay in other dorms to such as Baldwin, Cummings, and Rawlings. Thurgood and Marble Hall are both male and female and set up like apartments, you get a kitchen, living room, bedrooms, and bathroom. I believe their are 4 bedrooms in Thurgood and 2 bedrooms in Marble hall but you share them with one other person, well at least in Marble Hall you do. Females have the option to also stay in Harper - Tubman. Eventually many people choose to stay in Morgan View which isn't technically campus housing so you would have to go there to apply for housing. You have the option to pay every month for rent or its taken out of your tuition using EZPay which most students do. Morgan View cost more then the other dorms but its worth it, its usually clean, you have your own room, you share the apartment with 3 other people, you share the bathroom with just one other person, and you have a living room and kitchen. I enjoy staying in Morgan View over the other dorms, you have your own freedom and no visitation hours just as in Marble Hall and sometimes Thurgood.

The landscaping and recently built all-glass library.

Sagirah

There are many historic places on campus that are connected with former students and important people in the world and our buildings. This school stands out because it is a very popular HBCU that many people know about. Morgan has rich history, especially of its students standing up for their rights in order to make Morgan a better place for all.

Jerica

Although the school has a large student body, the classrooms are rather small. some may view this as a negative characteristics of a school But I view it as an opportunity to network and really get to know the instructors. There are also many places to sit and relax in doors as well as outside. the campus is also biker friendly with bike racks and paths throughout.

Angela

What makes Morgan stand out is our Holmes Hall which has a huge statue of Frederick Douglass which represents and symbolizes the History of our school and most visitors know it as "THE BUILDING WITH A BIG CLOCK ON ITS ROOF" ( which by the way goes off every hour, so if you hear it ringing on your way to class then you're late! ). Another unique thing about our campus is our Earl Richardson Library which is new and ALL GLASS built!! These are the three features that are unique about Morgan.

Kwasi

The location of our campus is unique within itself. Our library is the nicest building probably on campus next to the student center.

Ciara

i would say that the mosat unique aspect of my campus is the atmosphere. the presence and environment makes you always want to say on campus.

Charlese

The on campus activities and enormous amount of active organizations on campus. Professors prepare you for work force.

Our president makes sure that our campus is always changing and updating its facilities. Even when the economy won't allow for us to make big changes, Dr. Wilson will take advantage of the good that can be done.

Tatum

The most unique thing about our campus is that we have a mixture between old buildings and new buildings. You get a sense of history as well as some new school high tech buildings.

Joanne

Lol, besides this amazing school, some great mentors - I met Mr. Carson, the Director of Career Service, and he's keeping me on track, all the time. I think the library as an avenue for getting work done is so practical. The exhibit of MSU's Civil Rights contribution and the sit - in movement by Morgan State students is priceless.

LaKeeVia

The friends that I have made along my maltriculation have to be the best part of my school. I also love all of the organization I am apart of where I gained most of my friends. I love the community service projects that I have been involved with on campus. I love almost everything about my school!
