Esther

My school is best known for the engineering program. The campus is also notorious for its unpleasant view of rows and rows of plazas of franchise stores. UMD is also a notorious party school, on the weekends you can expect the nearby bars to be packed and rowdy, with campus police everywhere. The administrative offices are not well-organized, so when you first get accepted you have to jump over many bureacratic hurdles yourself and get passed around by many administrative employees (not so fun or welcoming).
