Frostburg State University is home to many students eight months out of the year. For the other four months, most students return back to their hometown. For some students home is less than an hour away in Cumberland, MD. For the majority of the students home is much further away.
When students were asked to describe their hometown, some could sum it up in one word. Tauren Robinson, a junior and Mass Communication major, moved around often but considers his home to be Anne Arundel County and which he describes as "integrated" because he grew up on a military base.
Some students like Courtney Dickerson, senior and Education major, had many things to say about her hometown. Dickerson excitedly stated "It's crazy, because I lived in New York so it's always busy, I love it!" She goes on to say, "If I had the chance, I would go back but my family is here now".
Nailah Hunter, a senior and English major calls Silver Springs, MD home. Hunter smiles when asked about her hometown, which she describes it as "very homey". She continues with "It's a good place to raise kids".
No matter if your home is 30 minutes away or hours away, there is no place like home. If someone asked you to describe your hometown, what would you say?
