Frostburg State University

Frostburg is in the middle of nowhere and it’s already hard being a student but imagine being a student in a town where they are only five fast food places and one walmart. The teachers are OK, I feel like there’s nothing special about them. There’s not a lot of opportunities to have fun anymore.

Frostburg State University is a wonderful place to attend college. The campus is beautiful, as is the surrounding area. The town of Frostburg is a great small town, with great food and shops. Nearby Wisp Resort and multiple state parks are perfect for outdoorsy students. Small class sizes make learning easier, and professors are all incredible. They’ve also updated multiple buildings on recent years keeping everything modern.

Frostburg State University has a friendly atmosphere, but the campus and facilities feel outdated and the surrounding town offers very little to do. Academic quality varies a lot between departments, and support services can be slow or inconsistent. It’s an affordable option, but the overall experience can feel limited.

I attended a satellite campus and took some online courses. It was nice to have the flexibility to choose alternate classes.

Great, hometown university Affordable and a fantastic education program

Frostburg State University was a great school for me. I was able to work during the day and earn my Master's degree in School Counseling in the evening. Frostburg State was a close drive from my home which was one of the main reasons I chose to go there. They are also known to have an excellent education program which is another reason I chose to go there. I had great teachers while at Frostburg State and felt prepared to be a school counselor.

This was one of the absolute best schools I have ever attended (I've been to three). The staff want you to succeed and will do anything to help you. I learned more than most other schools offer because Frostburg focuses on special education as well I'm the education curriculum. Fellow colleagues don't know acronyms that I learned because they never encountered them in their undergrad school. I am very thankful for all I have learned and really glad I attended that university.

The MAT program at Frostburg State is a 1 year program, which is wonderful. Most schools stretch this program out into 2 years, but Frostburg condenses it down, allowing its students to get into teaching that much sooner. This has its ups and downs; there is added pressure, as none of the workload or expectations are cut out, but the ability to graduate with a Master's degree in 1 year is worth the added pressure.

The pros of my program is the flexibility of being on campus and being online. The professor are very friendly and hands on. I also have the ability of being able to take a variety of classes with my program. I really don't have any cons of the program thus far.

I like that I am able to work towards my MBA online without ever stepping foot on campus. As I am an online student, I am disadvantaged when it comes to the social and teamwork environment that living on campus offers. In addition, my scholarship, loan and grant opportunities seem rather scarce.

It seems that Frostburg's MBA program is new. It has been very disorganized. In the last semester, they are just starting to provide pertinent information to the students regarding recommended course of study and information necessary for graduation.
