There are several unique factors of my school, one being are record breaking mall that is the longest recorded mall at a university in the united states. Also the university has their own ice cream shop that is made from the milk provided from the dairy farm on campus. Another factor that I find unique is that students are allowed to attend big ten conference games free of charge , this includes some of our most popular sports such as basketball and football games. Most schools who are in the the big ten conference charge their students a small fee.

It's proximity to DC offers numerous opportunities to get involved with, and cultivate individual interests beyond one's academic focus of study. Being close to DC also offers many opportunities for internships and possible job offerings in various fields.

The University of Maryland-College Park is located in the perfect location. It is near Washington D.C., which has plenty of entertainment for college students. The fun is only a metro ride away! As for the uniqueness found on the University of Maryland, you would find a farm which makes it's own ice cream. Yummy. Most importantly, our mascot is a terrapin. An adorable little turtle.

University of Maryland College Park has a wonderful lanuage department and was particularly intriguing to me when I applied due to the Living and Learning programs offered at the university. As a Spanish major, I was drawn to the Language House in particular, in which there are various language clusters and the members of each language cluster live together in the language house and are restircted to speaking only in the language of the language cluster that they belong to. Other unique Living and Learning programs at UMD include Flexus (for women engineers), Global Communities, and Beyond the Classroom.

University of Maryland is the perfect size for the college experience. It is large enough to where you and your friends can always find something to do, yet it is not overwhelmingly huge like other big name universities. Terps have tremendous school spirit, always expect to leave a sporting event with a shot voice seeing as how everyone will be cheering for our team.

The entire state seems to support this school. Everywhere I go people are Terp fans. I also have a family legacy here.

My university is actually a total upgrade from my previous university in florida. Their standards are higher and expect way more from us. I like to be challenged, so i can be the best i can be and survive once i graduate.

It is a large school so there are many different people to get to know and various clubs and organizations that you can get involved in. It is also relatively close to Washington DC and has metro access.
Allison
We were voted "worst sports fans" by other universities. Whenever there is a sporting event, students go all out in Maryland gear to pack the sporta arena. Even before the sports event starts, there is massive tailagting and amusement.

My school is unique in my perspective because it is close to my sister's school, and so my Mother was able to relocate to Bethesda, Maryland to stay close together and help me with finances by earning In-State tuition
