<p>Hey, current first-year MB student here.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say Mburg’s isolation is too big of a deal, as the week is pretty busy, so there isn’t much time to get off campus anyways. For the weekends, one could just stay on campus and watch/play in sports games, hang out in the student center, or do homework and fill his or her time. </p>
<p>To get off campus, though, there are usually several student activities planned. So far, there has been day trip to Gtown, a day trip to DC, and several trips to nearby Hagerstown for movies or shopping at the outlet. If your daughter just wants to leave campus, she can walk into town basically anytime that she doesn’t have a required appointment (class, sports, meetings) as long as it’s before 8 pm. There isn’t much in town, but there’s a McDonald’s, a dollar general, a pizza place, a tavern, a burger place, and some other general stores.</p>
<p>As for shuttling, I can’t say much because I haven’t had the chance to use it, but it seems good so far. Mburg has several shuttles to airports/Amtrak stations that leave an hour after breaks officially end (12 pm 11/20 for Thanksgiving break) and shuttles back at around 5pm on the end date (12/1). For my shuttle to BWI, I just filled out a online form with my flight itinerary and they reserved a spot for me.</p>
<p>For your final question: in regards to the remoteness, I like that the campus is still active on the weekends, with lots of community involvement in activities or sports. I can always find people willing to hang out whenever.
On the flip side, I do kind of wish that the town was a bit bigger, but there’s nothing really lacking that I absolutely need.</p>
<p>Good luck on your search, and I’d be happy to answer anymore Mburg questions.</p>
