Great!
It’s a great atmosphere for learning and learning is so much easier
The Truth About Maryland’s Oldest HBCU
This school has professors who care and are good a what they do, but there are also some professors who are not good at what they do. Sometimes these professors are the only one who teaches the class that is needed, so there are no other options. Usually being a good student and completing all assignments can help you, but sometimes that isn’t enough. It seems like the school does not listen to students’ complaints about these professors and we are stuck paying for classes that we learned nothing in.
