With this school being the only school in MD to offer my major I had to attend. This school is horrible, it made me honestly want to restart and change my major just so I don’t have to go to this school.

Go somewhere else. Trust me, NOT worth your time. "Professors" are rude and most of the time not helpful in helping students achieve their goals. If you have a question, you are better off using google to find it yourself. This will be my LAST semester here at this poor quality university.

I honestly hated the school. The only good thing that I could say is that the tuition was worth it because I learned a whole lot but the atmosphere of this school just wasn't for me. I hated the food, people, and the area. I wouldn't go there if you don't have a car.

Spend more and go somewhere else. The administration and faculty here is corrupt, and most are ruined by nepotism. Hardly anyone will help you, and on average it takes students 5-6 years to get a 4 year degree. For a degree that isn't really considered that great. Save yourself time and get a better degree somewhere else.

Umes has a reputation for turning out graduates that are not prepared for the work environment in their field of study. Employers have specifically told me this. Why spend the tuition on a degree that provdes zero benefit.
