What is best about the Uiversity of Maryland is its diversity. With over 25,000 students, the several different backgrounds in which people come from amazes me.

Unquestionably, the best thing about this school is its school spirit. The fact that this university is so large may deter some potential students from attending, but they simply need to sit in the student section during a basketball game.
