Drinking. Drugs. Campus that doesn’t care. Skipping class. Old, ugly campus. Food sucks. Too many parties. Fail out. Too Cold.
These are the rumors that circulate about Frostburg State University throughout high schools, youth groups, and parent-teacher associations. Maybe you have heard them yourself, and maybe you actually believed them. But when students attending the university were polled, results turned out much different than one would have thought.
When Annemarie Turner, a biology major from Crofton, Maryland, was asked the question “Are you proud to admit that you are a Frostburg student” she looked puzzled before saying “Yeah, I go here, so why wouldn’t I be?” Her answer reflects the same views of her peers and friends, especially Mary Biscoe.
Mary, from Prince Frederick, says she “loves Frostburg because of the diverse campus and the awesome alumni networking opportunities.” Her two majors, Law and Society and Sociology, have given her many opportunities on and off campus, which she appreciates. Like Latia Hopkins from Baltimore City, Mary is not afraid to say she loves her campus. Latia, a Political Science and Law and Society Major, agrees with Mary and Annemarie because she is not afraid to say she is proud to be a student at Frostburg State University.
So, where do you stand on the issue? Shouldn’t it be up to the students of Frostburg themselves to formulate an opinion, instead of people who do not even attend the school? Frostburg’s reputation is just another example of how you need to see something before you believe it.
