Why does the RAC close at 9PM this is earlier than classes go! I take several 7-9:45PM classes and can never make it to the gym because its closed after! I've never heard of a university gym closing before 11PM yet alone 9PM or worse 7PM on the weekends!!!!

What are they possibly using this $800's per student fee that we pay for the gym for? Assuming we are in school for 7 months that's over a $115 per month that we pay for the gym...Here are the hours for several other state universities in Maryland... Keep in mind UMBC has the 2nd highest enrollment in MD, putting aside UMUC which is a night school for adults... (UMD college park is 1st) to see more about this see

***UMD, College Park: 6am-Midnight (weekdays and Sunday)
                             10am-10PM (sat.)

So their weekend hours are better than our week day hours...

***Towson's Gym closes at 11PM on weekdays...

***Salisbury's pool hours go later than our gym hours...
Their pool closes at 9 PM (we are asked to leave the gym by 8:45 to let them clean up before closing)

Their actual gym closes at 11PM monday-thurs
8PM fridays and 9PM on sat and sunday
I dont think ive found one university in maryland who has worse gym hours...
****Frostburg

Monday - Thursday

6:00 a.m. - 11:00 p.m.

***Pringe Georges Community Colleges weight room hours
MWF 6AM-9PM
T THU 7AM-9PM
(their track and feild is open til midnight during week days)

So a community college is open for almost 2 hours more than us... and even on their cut back hours day of tuesday and thursday theyre still open for 45 min longer than us... this is at a COMMUNITY COLLEGE that is in one of the poorer counties in MD!!!! Where there are no students living on campus.

Can someone explain where all our money is going?!
People wonder why UMBC's campus is considered a boring commuter campus... I'm starting to think the university doesn't care about their students, all about the money.
