Review:

UMUC is a school for a certain type of student.  If you are a 20 year old transfer student coming from UMBC who is use to being able to go directly to student services and have your problems solved then this more then likely will not be the type of school you are looking for.  UMUC serves working adults and does it very well.  For a 30 year old student with a full time job or a 22 year old student with a family UMUC provides a great education from a state school to those who would not be able to finish a degree from schools like University of Maryland College Park.  

The school could stand to improve itself in regards to its administraive support to students, but then again the school is mostly an online focused school with most of its services just a log in away.  

My suggestion is while reading the reviews on this site is to ask yourself why type of student you are.  If you are a student who workds and needs a little flexibility then UMUC is perfect for you.  Its a 4 year state school way better then any for profit diploma mill school that offers online programs!
