McDaniel is located in Westminster, Maryland, a suburban area with a rural touch. Personally, I love it. Even though I like the city atmosphere, I enjoyed being in the beautiful countryside Carroll County has to offer. With that being said, there are times where I feel the need to visit the city just so I can get a feel for it. Guess what–McDaniel is in the perfect geographical location to do that.
This past weekend, I had the opportunity to take a drive down to our nation’s capital, since I wanted a change of scenery for the weekend. It only take about an hour and 15 minutes to get to D.C.; I went via car, and I’ve been told the travel time is about the same using the metro system in Owings Mills, MD.
The weekend turned out to be great. My family was attending the Washington Redskins game against the Tennessee Titans, so I was able to have some family time in the process. I left here Saturday night and came back Sunday evening. You can’t get that at every college across the east coast. Unless the school is primarily in the city, you rarely see the convenience of being able to take a short commute to a major U.S. city.
