UMBC vs. College

You know how in college movies all that is portrayed is partying and a lot of classwork. Well I find that UMBC has more of the latter and less of the first thing mentioned. Compared to other schools that my friends go to the amount of classwork is about the same depending on the amount of credits and classes being taken. There just seems to be a lot less partying and "college" stuff going on. I really enjoy all of my classes and the professors are all great. I have nothing to complain about here except for the lack of things going on after class especially on the weekends. The campus just feels like a ghost town on the weekends. Two of my three suite mates leave every weekend and its like I'm in a jail cell. There is no one to be found on campus on the weekends. I hoped that this was just something that i noticed and it's just because I haven't made friend or maybe its just because I'm a freshmen but I've talked to other freshmen and they all say the same thing. When I talk to upper class men they all say that there aren't any parties here and nothing goes on over the weekends. This isn't the college experience I was expecting but on the other hand it keeps me focused on why I am here and that is to get a good education. University of Maryland Baltimore County sure is a great place to send your child especially if you want them to get a good education and don't want to have to worry about what they might be doing when they are away.
