Anyone who is eager to reap the benefits of a large state school with lots of opportunities

A student that is determined to put social/family life to the side and focus strictly on school work. UMD is a very difficult university. The work load is extreme for most and stressful.

The type of person attend this school should be determined with what they want to achieve , passionate with what they want to study, and should never give up no matter what kind of difficulty they have to been through.

The atmosphere at Maryland is fantastic. The students, the professors, the staff, everyone is friendly and open to talk. The academics are top-notch, and there is always an intellectual atmosphere. There really is no one I would not recommend the University of Maryland to (unless you are specifically looking for a small school).

Eric

A Marylander. This is the best deal you can get if you are in state. As good an education as anywhere, at much less cost. With 30,000 students, anyone can find the group of friends to their liking. I am into very niche things (such as Dungeons & Dragons, UMD Whovians, the UMD Nerf Activities Society, UMD Nerdfighters, and coop housing) and I have made plenty of friends with such. If such as drinking, sports, groups without boarders, fashon, or anything else is your thing, there are tons of people here for that.

The University of Maryland - College Park is for motivated students who like to have fun. I have found that it is quite easy to challenge myself while still being able to have the full college experience. I have worked hard for my education at this school, and it has been well worth it. It is also a very social environment, so it is important for students who attend this school to be outgoing and willing to meet new people of all backgrounds.

Meenhee

A person who isn't too sure what they want to do with their life. This is because the school is huge enough to have almost all of the majors.

Brittany

Definitely an outgoing person, who can handle a big school. There is a lot of school spirit and sports are a big part of the culture here.

Gerson

The University of Maryland is a school open to any type of student from all backgrounds and culture. Anyone is able to blend in the school life, and has many choices as to what major to pursue. I believe there is no correct or wrong answer for knowing which students should attend UMD. Everyone is different at the university and have their own personality that allows them to be unique in their own way. In other words, no matter where you come from, you’ll be sure that you will come across someone who is no different from others.
