Admission decisions are questionable. Great Maryland High School students with IB diplomas and 3.9 GPA are not accepted. Something is very wrong!!!

Finishing first semester at UMD, great school. Well informed professors and teaching assistants. Large library. And lots of entertainments on campus.

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.

If you're a motivated and curious student craving a challenge, this place won't be for you.

I transferred to finish my undergraduate here, and was astonished by the lack of quality. Every class I took through the community health and public health departments (6 in total) was abysmal. I sat through class after class where the teacher had neglected to create any kind of plan and just droned on brainlessly. I had a teacher read off of power points that were essentially spark notes of a terrible text book, little more educational than reading a brochure. I had a lecherous teacher behave inappropriately with his female students, (!) and on top of it just fail to teach the class whatsoever. On several experiences I had professors say off color things about issues surrounding disability and mental health. The list goes on and on.

I thought my experience might be a fluke so I did some research-- I talked to other students in my program, I messaged a great deal of people online, hoping to get a better understanding of the average student experience. Every story was the same-- uninspired professors that phoned it in, poorly trained staff and an overall dysfunctional system. Even with STEM majors I was told about egregious inaccuracies in class materials and unchallenging courses.

It seems that (at least) at the undergraduate level, students are not the priority. This is a large research institution, and most of the professors care more about that.

However, there are some good professors, who will actually challenge you. They are typically the ones with negative reviews on 'rate my professor' complaining about 'how hard and unfair' they are. Take those classes. They probably won't be able to meet all your requirements, but if you're unable to afford anything out of state, it's probably your best bet.

Its very good school but very congested location and too much traffic. Very good events all around school.
