A Deeper Look

We’re taking A Deeper Look into Baltimore with this year’s Baltimore Look Book. Follow students through their daily lives as they showcase their favorite spots and hidden gems throughout the city. There’s always something new just behind the corner - find your unique Baltimore as you explore with them.

Find inspiration through the arts, new and unexpected flavors, exciting opportunities, international connections, and friendly faces throughout the city. Along the way, you’ll discover new favorites and uncover everything the city has to offer, from local stores to national connections. This is a vibrant city with the contributions and perspectives of over 140,000 students who study, live, and work in a college town all their own.

Thank you to our creative partners Skeleton Sprouls, Dave Cooper, and Mateyo Lampart for bringing our vision to life! We are so thankful to work with incredible Baltimore-based creatives.
