Anne Arundel County is located about equidistant from Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, MD - and all the world-class higher education institutions of the two cities. And the flagship campus of the University of Maryland is just a half hour away, in nearby Prince George's County. Anne Arundel County itself is home to St. Johns College, the United States Naval Academy, and Anne Arundel Community College.
If you're thinking about taking some classes yourself, or you have children approaching college age, there certainly is no shortage of options for you to consider.
Two of my children attended the University of Maryland, College Park, as well as two nephews, and their experiences could not have been more positive. In fact, my daughter is currently a Ph.D. Candidate in the College Of Education. I obtained my Bachelor's Degree and my husband Larry his Master's Degree from The Catholic University of America. So, if you have any questions about those two institutions, bring 'em on!

PEACE OF MIND - the #1 Reason for you to get a home inspection!
Generally speaking, a home inspection is a visual evaluation of the property to identify problems in areas that can be accessed. In other words, home inspectors do not have xray vision, so they can't see behind the wallboard; they don't pull up carpet, move furniture or take apart appliances to make sure every part is in like-new condition. And they don't report on cosmetic flaws, such as peeling wallpaper or dirty fingerprints on the walls.
