University of Maryland-College Park Top Questions

I think that the most frustrating part is that my school does not help students with finances. The school is very expensive and you find students dropping out or taking less classes because they cannot afford it. I think that the school is more giving to the students who reside in the state of Maryland, opposing to out- of- state students like me.

The registration process for classes. There are never enough spaces in popular classes and the times always seem to overlap.

the class room sizes are very big at my school.

It would be nice to have some newer dorms and some of the teachers can be uncooperative.

The dining halls close at 7 and do not open until 11 on weekends.

The most frustrating thing about my school is campus parking. There are not enough spaces, and parking passes are overly priced, and tickets are expensive.

The number of students who do not take advantage of all the opportunites at the University of Maryland because they either do not know how to seek them out, or because the opportunites are under-advertised.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that they do not provide financial aid or scholarships for students who are not citizens or permanent residents.

The only frustration I have with the University deals with my major's department (Economic department) and the lack of smaller sized classrooms. This causes students to be on very long waiting list and have lead to situations where students my not get into their course/s of choice.

After discovering that networking is the key to success, I began searching for the infinite amounts of resources that are available on our college campus. Although all the staff is friendly and helpful in answering questions or clarifying misunderstandings, it is inevitably difficult to find the right person to provide us with that information. Making enough phone calls and sending enough emails until you find an appropriate response becomes less frustrating with time, but a program that would simplify this process would greatly benefit a multitude of students here at our school.
