One of the most beautiful places in the area, the university of maryland college park is not only a place of higher learning but also a quiet and green area for family walks or quiet reflection on McKeldin mall: the largest in the united states of any college or university.

if you have the time to sit down, you should take a walk around the campus!
especially if it's maryland day as the entire campus will be rife with free events.

The university is going through some renovations and new additions are being built, it's not loud or distracting but it does limit the traffic that can go through campus, so be aware that some streets are one way now.
