University of Maryland-College Park Top Questions

I often talked about how beautiful the campus is and how vast it is compared to other institutions in the nation. Of course, I sometime find myself simply talking about the university's selectivity and prestige as the flagship public research school in the state of Maryland.

When I tell my friends about my university, I love to brag about how much better the schedule is. In High School, I had to wake up at 5:55 am and come back at 2:10, which is tiring and inflexible. Now, I design my own schedule and have control over when I study, when I come back from classes and when I go to classes-which is the freedom that I wanted so much. Because now I have the CHOICE, I feel less stressed and actually do a lot better in college.

University of Maryland, College Park is a large campus that is a perfect place to meet new people, obtain different opportunities, and receive a challenging and promising education. There are hundreds of different clubs that you could easily find interest in so you will find your niche. Professors and students alike are supporting and a great group of people to be around during your time at Maryland.

When I brag about my school I like to mention the diversity. I came from a university that was not diverse , to say the least. Whenever I get a chance to talk about my present university, I boast about its efforts and accomplishments in diversity.

I focus on the benefits that are gained from the size of the University of Maryland. While many individuals feel that the school is too large, due to its size the university is able to offer an immense variety of courses and extra curricular activities. Every student coming into the University has the opportunity to choose their course of study and find their niche outside of academics. While sometimes it may feel overwhelming, the University of Maryland gives its students the chance to receive effective and beficial education, and to really make the most of the time spent in college.

It's *the* state school. Fear the turtle. The criminology dept is one of the best in the country (that's the dept I'm in)

The resources

My classmates come from all over the place--different countries, religions, cultural backgrounds--and yet we end up, somehow, at the same school, which unites us all and allows us to communicate not as strangers, but as fellows, working for a common goal: education.

That there is no other school in the state of Maryland that even compares with the opportunities that I have at College Park. From our amazing faculty to the clubs and organizations we have, Maryland has it all. Along with having great opportunities on campus, less than a 10 minute drive away is Washington D.C which has countless amounts of opportunities for me. And best of all March madness with one of the best ACC basketball teams in the country. The University of Maryland really does have it all.

We have great school spirit at football games and basketball games. Also, the campus is great and is fun to just walk around at.
