Student Life
Where is the best place to study on campus? The 2nd floor in the library.          
Why did you choose to major in Marketing? I like advertising and I'm a big TV fan for advertising and commercials.

My favorite class at Morgan State is? Probably any online class - I'm taking philosophy this semester.
Favorite professor and why? - My accounting professor, Professor Thiruvadi. She really made it easy to understand accounting. I went in to the class thinking it was going to be hard, but it was easy.
Describe your first day as a student at Morgan State University? I was a transfer student so I only knew people from my high school. But once I got to know my teammates and figure out who they were, it was a pretty easy day.
What do you like most about Morgan State? I like the athletic department. It's a very close net family.
Why did you choose Morgan State? I chose Morgan State because it was close to home. I liked the coach, he is very personable and he's almost like a second father to me. I just like the school and the landscape is nice, the campus is nice.
