“STEM” student meeting at the Waterfront
Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, with its amazing views, fine dining and cultural experiences is enough to make you wish your vacation was a few days longer. And this isn’t even half of what the city has to offer. Baltimore is known for its education in the health and science field and is home to some of the nation’s top schools.* Additionally, the Baltimore region has the 8th highest percentage of job openings in "STEM" fields among large metro areas, which equates to some very high-paying job openings for qualified students.* With their 15 4-year institutions and 10 community colleges and trade schools, Baltimore is headed in the right direction for the future working class.*
Along with Venice, Hong Kong, and Rio De Janeiro, Baltimore was voted one of the world’s best waterfront cities.* It is the largest seaport in the Mid-Atlantic and offers a plethora of popular attractions when the Harbor no longer excites you: an internationally renowned orchestra, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, a five-day international film festival, Walters Art Museum, Maryland Science Center, Oriole Park at Camden Yards and the Baltimore Museum of Industry, just to name a few.* When all is said and done, studying for your exams while watching the boats unload at the docks and the seagulls fly over the high-rises seem like a perfect way to spend your college years.
