Prince Georges Community College • Largo, MD

"I am attending this school because it is close to my house and it offers different options to getting the degree. Not that many schools offer so many options."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | I think my lifestyle fits many people's schedules, which means this school would accommodate others. If you are able to keep things moving and available, then my school is a good choice. |
| Program Reputation | 5 | When I applied and got accepted, I received a lot of assistance from the school. Now that I have been in the program and involved in the program, I have had to do more work on the administrative end and I've also had to study a lot, of course. |
| Program Quality | 5 | The school helps you find out what area you would want to specialize in. They also recommend four-year institutions after we complete the associate's program. |
| Instruction | 5 | The instructors are knowledgeable and they even work in neighboring hospitals and nursing homes. They often bring in guests from the field to speak to us. |
| How Difficult | 5 | I worked as a volunteer before beginning the program, so the work is not that new to me. The difficulty comes when you start to work in institutions. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Books give you the basis on how things work. Working hands-on allows you to visually see what the book has to offer. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 5 | The school provides many options in taking classes. I like doing face-to-face evening classes that work around my full-time job. |
| Academic Facilities | 5 | I have not been able to see all of what the school has to offer yet. So far, it has been average. |
| Social Life | 5 | The school is a commuter school. The only way you are going to develop relationships with other students is by going to class. |
| Placement Services | 5 | Like I said previously, the program has an alumni website that gets new students and alumni networking together. It is a great opportunity to advance my career before it starts. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | They spoke of the alumni page since day one. It is suppose to help new graduates find jobs and network with other alumni. |

| Would Recommend? | yes | It's a wonderful campus with a lot of activities. The classes aren't to overwhelming and I think it is a great experience. |
| Program Reputation | 8 | Many girls I work with have graduated from Towson and also really enjoyed it. Towson is one of the few schools on the east coast offering this major. |
| Program Quality | 9 | I think Towson was a great school for me to attend and major in this field. I found my classes very interesting with teachers willing to help. It was hard work, but I am very pleased with it. |
| Instruction | 8 | I believe the teachers did a pretty good job at paving the way for me and my career. They were very understanding and helpful. |
| How Difficult | 7 | The work was challenging and there was quite a bit of it, but overall I didn't have a really hard time with it. There were times I struggled a bit, but for the most part I was able to get through it all with good grades. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | I feel that it was a mix, depending on the class. Certain classes and professors do mainly book learning and lectures, while others focus on hands on working with parts of the body and doing presentations. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 8 | My schedule was very flexible. I had no problems with the scheduling or timing of my classes. |
| Academic Facilities | 8 | There were always professors available to work with you if needed. They also have study groups and tutoring times for whoever needs them. |
| Social Life | 8 | I enjoyed my experience at my school. I liked all of my professors for the most part. All my peers were very helpful and interested in the school. School spirit is a big thing at Towson. |
| Placement Services | 9 | I got a job offer straight out of college. They really helped to get me the information I needed to get the job. |
| Alumni Network | 7 | The alumni is always sending out information on upcoming events, but they do ask for donations. I don't have a problem donating, though I cannot do it every time they ask. |
