High School: Thomas Stone High School

CSM Associate’s Degree: Five degrees – arts and science, arts and humanities, general studies, communications and speech communication.

Transferred to: “…University of Maryland Baltimore College first, and now I am living in Florida while I take online classes through the University of Maryland University College.

Choose CSM : “…because it was close and convenient. Professors were local and very easy to reach. I also had a base of friends already attending the institution which was comforting.

Preconceived Ideas about CSM: “None. A degree holds more weight in the working world than a high school diploma no matter where that degree was obtained.

Recommend CSM to : “…everyone I know. It is the perfect place to start your education. My best friend James will be attending CSM fall 2006 based on my recommendation and after seeing what it has done for me.

Advice to fellow students: “For those who are thinking of transferring in, do not think, just do! Make it happen! For those getting ready to transfer out, do your research and make sure everything is going to transfer. It is absolutely critical and should be your major concern as it will effect your choice of transfer schools. Everything else is trivial.”
