I had a hard time throughout my school years, but once attending Salisbury I truly found myself and knew who and what I wanted to be. The area is perfect! Close to the beach! 3 hours from DC! And close to so many nice day trips! There's a lot of opportunities for you to join clubs and sororities. The eating hall is amazing! I'm pretty sure they were nominated for best college food at some point. I lived on campus my whole time there and absolutely loved it! If you want a school who cares about your future and shapes you into the person you want to be go here!! I ended up graduating and working at the United state's Capitol! So that shows they really do a great job!

Are school reviews on Yelp a thing? If not, I enjoy writing so here goes my review. Broken down by…read morecategories that matter to myself and many others. Physical campus itself: 9/10. The nature is very well taken care of. The campus is designated as an arboretum, so you will find beautiful and rare plant species here. Easily walkable campus, short distance between buildings. Buildings are maintained pretty well. It's easy to imagine yourself going about your college life on this campus. Professors: 6/10. In my experience, I found some gems that knocked 'it' (class discussions, readings, etc) out of the park. Other than those few gems, an unfortunate amount of professors at SU could take a teaching course or two. Experts in their respective fields, potentially, but could use some touching-up on conveying that expertise to students. You will learn-but expect a decent sum of it to truly be on you (unless you 'dig out' the aforementioned gems to help you along the way). Extracurriculars/activities/involvement: 7/10. SU offers many different clubs for students to attend, from a Star Wars lightsaber club, to a club devoted to promoting sexual wellness, to a club just for education program students. How well these clubs are maintained/organized? It doesn't seem to be too well. They are a great place to make friends and connect with others (and snatch some freebies) for sure, though. SU student-run organizations host many different events, such as movie nights, concerts, comedians, and cultural festivals. These are all fun and run pretty smoothly. In each 'program' (education, business, etc.), there are often events and opportunities to meet with people who work in the respective field. Lots of opportunities to immerse yourself in your discipline once you are past your gen eds. Education itself: 7/10. Perhaps as a result of COVID, I have noticed an uptick in professors relaying much of their assigned work to online platforms (think Canvas quizzes, discussion boards, etc.). In my opinion, putting a large portion of the learning online detracts from the education one pays for. This is, of course, a matter of opinion, but worth noting that much of what a student at SU does for learning is delegated to 'MyClasses' (even if the class meetings ARE completely face to face). Even with the online-heavy coursework, I feel as if SU provides a solid education once you work your way through gen eds and make it to your program. If you think of the gen eds as a 'test' or precursor to being welcomed to a program, they are simply something you must work at and complete. SU's gen eds do just that. You will come out learning a bit about the given subject, but you will learn more about time management, communication, and other skills that must be heightened before entering a program. Other/misc.: Parking at SU is rather difficult. Parking system consists of different pass colors with limited passes and parking spots. Class sizes are growing, too. You do not necessarily need a car, most everything around SU is walking distance. If you must bring your car, be ready for walking to and from lots and leaving very early to snag a spot (if you live off campus and drive). Offices (financial aid, parking, etc.) respond very quickly and are relatively easy to work with. Financial aid is very thorough in answering questions and helping you through loan/scholarship/payment questions. The parking office staff, similar to the physical parking situation, can be a bit tricky. Very limited forgiveness or wiggle room if you mess up a bit. Student health center office has been great. They do not bill insurance. Prices are fair and cheaper than what you might pay as a co-pay, with very thorough and caring nurses and office staff. They are fantastic. Please feel free to message me if you would like more advice or thoughts about SU. I enjoy writing (I'm a senior English major at the school) and would be glad to type out some more.

Absolutely 100% racist and sexist by not listening to me and ignoring my requests. I hope this place closes down. No staff here are fit to operate.

What an awesome event and time to celebrate President Jordan's retirement and Juneteenth. St…read more Mary's College of Maryland holds their annual Mulberry festival which was the vision of President Tuajuanda C. Jordan, every year on the eve of Juneteenth, the day (June 19th) commemorating the emancipation of all enslaved in the United States. Originally created in 2019, the inaugural Mulberry Music Festival featured a gospel theme and featured chart-topping recording artist Jason Nelson. I had no idea and love he's right here in MD leading his congregation. Some of Southern Maryland's favorite food vendors were on site for the festival and it was fun looking at what they had to offer (see pics) Some added mulberry infused treats like mulberry freeze dried candy, mulberry lemonade and mulberry cocktails to their menus. Icy Bites served Italian ice that was prefect for the heat. Calvert Crabs served a mulberry cocktail and you were able to add the Mulberry syrup to your drink of choice. Menu for Heidi's Eats & Sage Treats featured some Korean favorite dishes as well as BBQ bowls. Cousins Maine Lobster Truck was on the building and I was surprised up see them. I did to to them because I'm sure I would have purchased and it wouldn't have been cheap lol. Dumpstaphunk closed out the trio of bands and were great. My cousin heard they were coming to little old St. Mary's county and couldn't believe it. He made us go and we truly enjoyed ourselves dancing the evening away.

Weird such a progressive school is so backwards when it comes to the philosophy behind its policy's. Derek Young among countless others maintains this conservative philosophy as an institutionalized barrier against student progress and advancement by holding 5+ positions when he can't even pretend to fill 1 adequately. The school under hires and struggles to keep a work force but 'makes due'. They ignore student issues, skimp on safety measures and pretends that parties don't exist because that looks better on stats when in fact there are parties half the week with no safety or accountability protocols in place. 10/10 a truly beautiful campus with a great student body, but would rather pay out lawsuits then prevent them from happening.
