Coppin State University — Attraction in Baltimore

The experience at Coppin is one horrible one to remember. I tried to support HBCU's since I'm an African American but the unorganization at these schools are ridiculous. Coppin is by far the worst. The financial aid office doesnt really want to help students. They have attitudes like they're not supposed to do their jobs. I overheard a staff member saying "I do not want to see ANY STUDENTS TODAY!" It's the third week of school and my book voucher still hasnt processed. I asked why and they do not know. The lady tells me I need to wait another three business days while it continues to process. Its already been 10 business days! Still no valid explanantion. In addition to this, the school book store advertises GoBank which is a mobile bank account. The sign in front of the book store says that you can direct deposit your financial aid and tuition refunds. Financial aid knows nothing about this and directs me to the business office. The business office says they do not know anything about GoBank and you cannot direct deposit your refund. ????? So who knows then? I demanded to speak to someone who knows. No success. So i head to the bookstore and ask them about the sign and guess what? The lady in the bookstore doesnt know either and tries to tell me how to join and contact GoBank! I'm fed up with the run arounds, unknowledgeable staff, unorganization, attitudes, and the unwillingness to help students. I will do my ultimate best to transfer to another school immediately. Please future students, DO NOT go to Coppin unless you want to deal with staff and administration that doesn't care about your well being and success as a student!! I could go on about some of the teachers that teach courses they don't have expertise in but I could go all day! Do not come to Coppin! I'm...

I was very disappointed with my recent experience at Coppin State University during my interaction with the RN to BSN advisor, Mr. Darryl Boyd. After calling his office, I was told to reach out via email instead. I followed his instructions and scheduled a video call, expecting to receive helpful information about the program. Unfortunately, the call lasted barely 5 minutes out of the 30-minute appointment I had booked, and the interaction was extremely unprofessional. Mr. Boyd was dismissive and rude throughout the meeting. What concerned me most was his inaccurate statement that my multistate RN license would not be valid in Maryland, even though Maryland is part of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). When I tried to clarify, he interrupted me and said, “Sweetheart, you are not understanding,” which I found inappropriate and condescending. His tone and attitude made me feel disrespected and unwelcome, especially as an international student. I was hoping to learn more about the program, but instead, I left the meeting feeling unheard and disregarded. Based on this interaction, I no longer feel comfortable applying to Coppin State University. I hope the administration takes this feedback seriously, as no student should be...

The school has one great quality and that is, it is very cheap. Other than that the administration is very disorganized and if you are not on them like white on rice than your things will never get done. I am a Freshman this year and i will be transferring back home which is in Virginia, my experience so far is not good pertaining to the professors and administration, but the people are pretty cool and you will learn a lot good and bad. As for the campus it is nice but the surrounding area is a scary site to see it scared me when i first came to see it, being from Richmond, Virginia, but if you stay on campus all of the time it is alright....
