If you can afford to or have the opportunity to attend another institution do so. Most of the negative comments here are valid and not overstated. I am a veteran student here at Bowie State University and was sold a bill of goods when I attended the open house. The resources are minimal, advisement is terrible and some of the Professors are arrogant and opinionated to a fault. I did not attend college to have to sit in class and hear about someones political and religious beliefs. Personally, I could not recommend this institution to anyone. Oh, and if you are a veteran Warning!! Do not attend this school or you will have holds placed on your account every semester until the VA pays your bill. Please! DO NOT ATTEND THIS SCHOOL.

When I first came to BSU I was thrilled. I thought I was going to have the best time experiencing college life. --NOT THE CASE--BSU is the worst school I have ever attended. The faculty really brings down the school's reputation. The financial aid office will always be a moment I will never forget. They gave incorrect information, and acted like I was bothering them by asking a simple question. They are known to give students the run around. There are a few good professors there. I have never seen a campus that has so many cats. They just walk around eating out of trash cans, its so disgusting. The students are rude and snooty. If you say hello they act like you insulted them. I would strongly reccomend that people do not apply to this school. It is a complete waste of time no matter how affordable the education is.

I am a transfer student and this is my first semester at Bowie State University (BSU). I have atteneded several community colleges prior to attending BSU and I would much rather be at a community college than at BSU. There are many issues with the administrative side moreso than the academic side (for me anyway). I have had issues with admissions, student accounting, financial aid, the veterans affairs department and the advising department. I am a nursing major and the secretary/front desk woman in the nursing department is a mean nasty woman. She has a bad attitude and is relunctant to help anyone do their job. The advisors are RUDE and at times unprofessional. I planned to attend BSU in the fall of 2011 but the admissions department took 6 (six) months to evaluate my transcript needless to say no classes were open. The financial aid office sat on my paperwork for weeks and did not inform me of the steps I needed to take to recieve my student loans. The veterans affairs department also sat on my paperwork for several weeks also causing alot of stress in regards to my tution being paid and excess money being returned to me. The student accounting department does not communicate with the VA or financial aid department prior to making choices about student registration. Bowie State University should be a LAST RESORT option. This is the worst institution I have ever attended and I am a Army Vet. Id much rather be at a community college than here. They lack supplies in the biology department and I am sure every place else because BSU is going *BROKE*. AND WHEN I SAY BROKE I MEAN *****BROKE*******. Just check all your other options dont let BSU be your first.
