My son received a brochure from UMBC today and we'd like more information.

What is the surrounding area like? What is in walking distance from campus?

Is housing guaranteed for all 4 years?

What percentage of students stay on campus on the weekends? reading older threads, I get the impression that it may be a commuter school.

The brochure states that UMBC is an Honor's College. Obviously not so, but has honor's programs. UMCP is more well-known (at least OOS) but is it more prestigious?

Any info on OOS merit $$$$?

How are the advisors? How often do they meet with students?

Average class size?

Any and all information is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
