Where in the world have all these freshmen come from? Frostburg State University has acquired a tremendous amount of freshman this year and this can be viewed as a good or bad thing; depending on the situation. Compared to last year, it seems that more students have been hearing about Frostburg and the excellent cost for tuition for quality education. Hopefully the amount of freshman arriving over the years will not decrease, especially with the GPA requirement increasing which will be taken in affect early next year. Based on the current enrollment status, a few student and faculty shared their views.
Nailah Hunter, an English major from Silver Spring, MD had a modest outlook on the increase of freshman here at FSU. When asked her point of view she laughed and replied, “I think there are a lot of them this semester.” A friend of Hunter who was close by, Jessie Rogland, Liberal Arts major from Waldorf, MD is happy to see all the new faces but worries about there being an overload. Rogland states, “Although it’s beneficial for money and finances, housing has become an issue. I’m worried that dorms are going to be more overcrowded than in the past.” After receiving the student’s outlook, it was time to hear from a faculty member. Mary Jane Plummer, from the Cultural Event Series loves the fact that there are so many new freshmen. Plummer who is always working with students and helping create fun events for them to enjoy during their time at FSU. “I’m excited about it. I’m happy to see they chose Frostburg. I’m happy to see their involvement in the school, which is great. I hope they don’t dwindle in numbers next year and are able to retain the same amount as before.”
