I could say the school is best known for its top notch programs, like the Buisness School which ranks 2nd place in the coountry, or School of Journalism which ranks 5th. I could also say its sports, for the great football team and the huge stadium in the middle of campus. It could even be know for placing one of the only McDonald's that serves Pepsi instead of coke in the world! But I think the most important thing it's know for is the Terp, and how it watches over the Administration bulding from across campus! GO TERPS!

Our school is known for the diversity of its student body, and the fact that there is always something going on. The people here are friendly, inviting, and very spirited. We are prideful in being Maryland Terrapins and unite together both in the classroom and out of the classroom. Our University boasts great, attentive faculty that also conduct top-tier research in which our students participate in, in order to further their undergraduate careers and to bolster their resumes for graduate and professional school.

Maryland has very good psychology, music, business, and journalism schools. It is also now known for having a losing streak in football. Maryland has a reputation as a party school, and you will find many students who know where to go to for a good party and drinks. Route one, right beside the campus has many of the places, as well as several good restaurants. In addition it is fairly close to Washington, DC, and you can always find something to do down there.

The University of Maryland is a researched based university. We have several labs and classrooms on our campus. Maryland is also a very large (structurally) and diverse campus with a lot of students. Maryland's large campus may be intimidating but it is like its own city. Our library is one of the biggest in the state of Maryland. Our school is also known for its athletics. In 2008 we were NCAA Division 1 champions in Men's Soccer and Women's Field Hockey. Our basketball team is also coached by one of the legends in college basketball.
