Analyzing the freshmen class of Frostburg State University you will find a unique sub-population. Frostburg State University student’s mainly come from the DMV (Washington D.C, Maryland, and Virginia), Pennsylvania, and West Virginia area. Some of the main reasons for coming to Frostburg State among the students have been location, tuition cost, diversity, and academic majors.
Noah Majinnasola (Class 2015) “I came to Frostburg State because the tuition cost was reasonable. The price of college is getting really expensive and I really just don’t have that type of money.”
Jordan Zang (Class 2014) “I came to Frostburg because it was far enough from home where my parents couldn’t pop up but close enough where I wouldn’t miss home too much.”
FSU offers a total of forty-five different degree programs from Chemistry to Recreation and Park Management, allowing a wide range of career paths. Students get the convenience of small classroom sizes with 85% of classes contain 30 or less students. Finally 84% of faculty has a doctorates or terminal degrees in the field they study in. With all these components this makes Frostburg a desired place for high school seniors to go.
Going away to college is the next chapter for these freshmen. Frostburg provides these students with the transition into adulthood, with greater responsibility and independence. Freshman living on campus in the dorms will be exposed to sex, drug, and alcohol more without any parent supervision or curfew to worry about. There are currently 828 freshmen this fall semester looking to redefine themselves and step into a new light. Here they can do many things such as sports, sorority/fraternity, clubs, and organizations. Many will be looking to find what they want to do with the rest of their lives and others what they want to do tonight. Whether good or bad Frostburg State University is the start of a long journey for these 828 freshmen!
