Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Business - Management and Administration  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright I'm a first time Freshman at MSU, from the DC area. I was admitted to Morgan during an on-site admissions program they held at my school; my grades weren't too terribly good, but my SATs were impressive and I was accepted in about five minutes. Although Morgan was extremely easy to get into, it's difficult balancing a full course load and an active campus/social life once you're here. Many teachers come off as arrogant, but after a few visits to there offices during office hours with legitimate questions pertaining to work, they'll warm up to you. Financial aid is horrible, however! I was given the run around several times before my paper work was straightened out, and even then my mother and sister had to sit in Montebello for a few hours. I am paying for college by myself and have no credit history or cosigner to take out a loan. After explaining my situation to quite a few people in the financial aid and bursar's office, my loan amount was increased and I was given a few thousand dollars. I also recieved a diversity grant. If you're not Black and are accepted to the University, they give you 2k a year. It def. helps with book money. If you remain patient and pleasent, they'll work miracles for you. Campus life is great. There are clubs for everyone, gay straight alliances, anime clubs, sports, organizations for all religions and interests, really. The surronding city, Baltimore? Well, Morgan is in the hood. It's not too safe to walk around outside by yourself, but if you have common sense and stay in groups, it's just fine. Baltimore Harbor isn't too far away, but a car is almost a must here. Morgan is a party school. I partied in high school, but the clubs we go to here are willlddd. Focus on academics and be patient with the fin. aid and Morgan is a great place to be! And work the summer before you get here and save your money! I wish I would have saved more... being broke in October and waiting for your refund check is NOT fun! Extracurricular Activities: A+, Campus Maintenance: C Have a Question?

My daughter attended the Summer Pre-college program and will attend Fall 2007, then switch to UMES. The whole summer program she was made to feel she was dam lucky to have gotten into Morgan. That if it was for the summer program she would have had no hope for college. She was accepted at three other colleges but picked Morgan based on it's reputation for it's Elementarty Education program. Morgan was the only college that did not accept her with out attending the precollege program in which she had two As and a B. She has dyslexia and did not do well on the SATs and was deemed needing the summer program which she willingly attended, btu she had other choices! She like her actual teachers, but the admistrators continually made the summer program student body feel low and of no worth. I can also add dealing with the financial aid office was absolutely ridiculous. Multiple phone calls never resulted in return calls. emails were not returned promptly at first (until I emailed the director) and they were lenthly and never addressed my questions and problems. This all after our intial college visit that went very badly. I should have let that be my warning. We made a Sat appointment during my daughter's senior HS year, showed up at the time, but no represetative was there. We waited an hour with the other family who also had an appointment. I called several times during the next week and never got return calls. Then finaly after a few calls to that department's director I finally got a call back, and we had the visit and tour. The college overall just seems very disorganized. They should realize students have other choices, and should not treat them as if they were lucky Morgan allowed them to come, but that Morgan was luckly the students picked it...
