The University of Baltimore — Local services in Baltimore

I am a current student, and I can confidently say that this university is declining in both academic quality and institutional focus. Leadership and staff appear more invested in self-promotion and distributing politically charged messaging than in supporting the academic and professional advancement of their students. Unfortunately, this shift in priorities has become increasingly visible across various departments.

Poor communication has become a persistent issue. Emails go unanswered for weeks, and students are often left in the dark about course updates, deadlines, and policy changes. When responses do come, they are often vague or dismissive, leaving students feeling unheard and unsupported. This unresponsiveness is not only frustrating but also deeply discouraging, especially for those of us balancing work, family, and graduate-level coursework.

Classroom environments have also suffered from a lack of strategic planning and engagement. Courses are frequently reorganized mid-semester with little notice, leaving students scrambling to adapt to new formats, assignments, and platforms. These chaotic shifts reflect a troubling lack of foresight and consideration for the learning experience.

If you are a working professional seeking a structured, student-focused academic experience that respects your time, effort, and investment, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. The university needs to urgently realign its priorities and refocus on the needs of its tuition-paying students, the very individuals who sustain...

I am very disappointed with the overall experience here. The advisors can schedule appointments and be a no-show and the administration makes excuses for them. The truth of the matter is they honestly really don't care about your academics, your work or in fact YOU. It really is a persona this administration puts on. Someone wrote a review stating the school is good for you as long as you are doing well and that you are doing your part......thats pretty much any college you attend to AND that has given UB room to not be accountable for their tardiness, lack of engagement and no show gimmicks these people do. All of the advisors assigned to me have been horrible and dismissive. Instructors as well save 1 instructor I had to review as outstanding. A complete waste of my money and debt. It is also no place for a born again beliver in Christ as this school is completely anti-christ and you are HATED and accused of being hateful because of the truth. Heaven and earth will pass away but Jesus words will never pass away and I say that out of love. But UB should be ashamed for misrepresenting how engaged...

I transferred here after finishing at CCBC, that transition went smooth for the most part. I liked my time here and I graduated. The location is good, right at midtown. Its not all the way into the city which made the drive less intense as a student that commuted. The class sizes were small to medium, not very large which I liked. Evening classes worked well with my full time work schedule. Most of the professors I had were great and also like how they offer career search assistance and workshops both as a student and alumni so some of the services dont stop because you no longer go to that school. The new library looks nice. By the time they redone that building I already graduated so not sure how nice it is inside but from the outside it...
