The school is very diverse and original. Most students have a welcoming attitude towards others and are always willing to discover new things and cultural beliefs practiced by other individuals

The proximity to Washington D.C makes for an amazing mixture of backgrounds, races and income levels. There are groups here but due to the odd 'metropolitan area', mixing is bound to happen - and it does! The unique character is made from the odd jumble living in a densely urban area.
John
The campus is all located together, almost like a town.
Allen
There isn't a typical sort of student that attends UMD, while small versions of cliques do exist, the people who attend Maryland are extremely open and multi-faceted, with varying and engaging interests and spirit.
Morgan
The extreme school spirit is remarkable. Everyone at the University of Maryland is proud to be a Terp. It's not unusual to see painted faces and chests at every sports event or Terrapin t-shirts in every classroom. I've been approached by friendly Alumni when I go to Washington DC who see me wearing UMD merchandise and want to talk about the school.

The University Of Maryland is uniquely diverse. There are so many students from different races, backgrounds, lifestyles, and religions. My school also has so many ways for its students to become involved in their community and around campus. There is truly a place for everyone to fit in, its a very welcoming and beautiful campus. There are offices such as the OMSE office for Multi-Ethnic Students to receive tutoring and mentoring. The University of Maryland is an incredible University for you to enrich your mind.

University of Maryland is known for having a very diverse atmosphere and there is a club that satisfies just about anything that you would like to do. There is no reason you should not find something of you interests at this university. The teachers come from different backgrounds and there is a great variety in teaching methods and styles.

It is extremely diverse and presents a multitude of persepctives. This allows for a cross-cultural experience that cannot be found in more conservative and less diverse environments. There's something for everyone to do and always more for those who are relatively active to experience.
