Went there for my freshman year of college, then transferred to Salisbury for financial reasons, unfortunately. If you can afford it, go. Beautiful campus, fun night and weekend life, great geographical location, professors that care wholeheartedly about you and your experience (invite you to their homes, personalize instruction yet keep things very challenging, etc.), authentic Greek life opportunities and a real close knit, community style feel of the campus yet big enough to see different faces every day. I was a Spanish/Secondary Education major and felt like they were really setting me up for success. You get what you pay for.

We visited McDaniel with our granddaughter just 3 weeks ago. We were very impressed by the grounds, athletic facilities and friendliness of the students and faculty. It has a warm and friendly environment.

I spent the last four years of my life at McDaniel College, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. The professors are wonderful people and truest care about you on a personal level and about your education. I've made some of my absolute best friends here, and I k ow these friendships will be life-long. McDaniel's motto is focused on how they change lives, and it's completely true. Of course there are down sides to everything, and with McDaniel, it's the administration and the dining hall food. However, they are working to improve the quality of food. As for the administration, some students formed the Progressive Student Union (PSU) and they are working to get the administration to be more transparent about certain topics and to get them to work with the students, rather than against them, which is how it frequently seems.

Good school, passionate teachers, good place to grab a quick eat before a concert in thier food area., went here to view a choir and the performance was pretty nice i hope to see more good things from this school in the future.

I did not graduate, but I went 4 years to McDaniel college. I dropped out for personal reasons, but would recommend it for anyone looking for a small liberal arts school. Everyone knows who you are. I met my husband at this college. He is an alumni. I would like to go back to school one day, but I had no idea what I wanted to do with my major and ended up going into Bookkeeping instead of Religious Studies. If you want a small school where everyone knows your name, this is your place. I miss college days.

Speaking from experience, McDaniel's graduate degree programs in education are a cash cow at the expense of Maryland school teachers. You see, school teachers in most Maryland counties are obligated to earn a masters degree in a set amount of time, and will give you an education stipend to help you reach that goal, but they have an agreement that they only pay upfront for McDaniel and Towson; since most teachers don't have that kind of money just laying around to wait to be paid back at the end of the semester, that really limits your options now doesn't it? So McDaniel hastily put-together all of these "distance learning" branches in those counties to take advantage of that stipend. Sign up for this grad program and you'll see the cracks immediately. "Professors" are just local school teachers. Most of them do take their job seriously and truly do want to help you succeed, but the problem is that they are working with a curriculum they had no hand in writing and they are getting zero support from the main College; some complained about getting nothing from the college except a list of power points and books they wanted us to buy. This led to what teachers in the state calls the "McDaniel teaching model": everyone reads a chapter from the book and summarizes it. Then go into the discussion group on blackboard and post your "aha moment", as in the thing you learned this week that made you go aha! This is the formula for every single class, and since you won't be learning anything, the only aha moment you're going to have is how much time you're wasting here. Once school districts started to pay out a lot for teachers to go to McDaniel, the price for graduate degrees there ballooned; when I first started the stipend was enough to cover a solid 3 classes at McDaniel, 4 years later the same amount of the stipend wasn't even enough to cover one. And since teachers in this distance learning setting won't be going to the main campus, they're forced to contend with McDaniels truly terrible website; where trying to do anything from access your email to paying a bill is a nightmare, and requires many different logins for different tasks. It takes a lot for a website to . And if you complete an education-related master's program through them, congratulations! You have nothing to show for it! Want to become an administrator at a school? Get ready to leave MD, since half the other teachers in the state also have a useless master's from McDaniel or Towson, and every single one of you is going to be passed over for people with degrees from Georgetown, UMD, or any other school with the slightest bit of prestige. Want to get a job in the private sector? Without a doctorate, be ready to settle for the same bureaucratic entry positions that you probably could have gotten with your bachelors degree. Want to get into a PHD program? Get ready for lots of sneers from schools at this tiny little liberal arts college that no one outside of MD has ever heard of; even most State schools carry better name recognition. If you're a school teacher in MD, working on a single income, then you really do have your back up against a wall, and McDaniel knows it. But you do have other options.

Best for my Jr. year Physics Major...very small class size, diverse opportunity internships, great locale, best bang for buck in terms of private colleges. Named one of Forbes Most influential colleges on their students for years now. Also - an administration willing to help with financial and other difficult issues regarding education McDaniel provides. My child is out of state and received better scholarship here than home state.

My Daughter love it there. she is on her 2nd year and she plans on getting her 4 years degree at McDaniel.

If you want to throw your money away at a lesser education then go here, otherwise go to Towson University.

Kate Burns

I would not gift this school one dime. They only pay out 1.25%. So the person does not get any benefit. This school is not worth 40k a year. No wonder this school is always going to court.
