4. So pretty much every other school and university in the Baltimore area is closed today (Monday). UMBC? Open all day. Does this make sense to anybody? Because it makes absolutely no sense to me. I recall having to come in last year when there was a solid inch of ice over the entire campus. I’m hoping they took better precautions and did a better job cleaning up this time. I’m not going to kill myself trying to walk down all the steps on ice for a final. UMBC has the worst weather policy ever.

5. I was very disapointed with the handling of this situation. I had a final on Monday morning and had no where to study but at home where everyone else was stuck in the house bothering me. The closing of the library should be put into consideration for rescheduling finals on Monday. Also the scheduling of the finals this year was bad, they should have been finshed on Friday.
   Peace

6. Yeah, thanks for clearing all of the sidewalks by Hillside and Terrace. Wait – none of those were cleared whatsoever.

7. Oh, and ‘d’ – that is the worst excuse ever. You couldn’t find one quiet place to study? Really, that is why you think UMBC should have canceled exams, because you can’t go in your room and close the door, or go to the local library, etc? Wow.

9. They didn’t clean many of the sidewalks by the time I got there on Monday for my final in the afternoon.. they don’t get people to clean on Sunday because they don’t want to pay overtime to their regular physical plant staff who they had cleaning on Monday. They didn’t do any of the main sidewalks from parking lots to the campus.. not even the sidewalk from the Commons Garage. Pretty sad.

   That said, I’m glad I was able to just finish my last final and be done with the semester instead of having to deal with it any more. Glad I’m able to hike it through the snow to get there.. it must have sucked for anyone who wasn’t able to but still had a scheduled final..
