Also the university has their own ice cream shop that is made from the milk provided from the dairy farm on campus.

Other unique Living and Learning programs at UMD include Flexus (for women engineers), Global Communities, and Beyond the Classroom.

The University of Maryland has a wonderful location with its proximity to both Washington, D.C., and Baltimore. It's nice, though, because the cost of living is cheaper, because it is just outside these major cities.

University of Maryland College Park is the college experience portrayed in movies and T.V. shows. D1 athletics, fraternity row, dozens of restaurants, and the grass mall in the middle of campus sum up what University of Maryland has to offer.

One great thing about Maryland (and the main reason I picked it) is its Criminology and Criminal Justice major. It isn't a common major for schools to have, and Maryland was the only school I applied to that had it. I have always wanted a job in law enforcement, and it helps that I'm learning what I need to know from brilliant professors who know what they're talking about. It also helps that D.C. is a quick metro ride away, meaning I can visit the museums there whenever I want.

I chose to go to the University of Maryland-College Park because it had everything I wanted and stood out from my five other prospective schools.

It is unique because of the atmosphere around campus and especially in the dorms. There is a sense of family and community that is able to support one another socially and academically. There are also hundreds of clubs and organizations on campus which make it extremely easy to find your niche.

The staff here really wants you to succeed; they will push you to your limit.

I choose to become a student at the University of Maryland mainly because of their freshmen connection program. The university of Maryland has a large number of applicants and therefore cannot accept all students into the fall semester. Although a majority of schools may offer acceptance into their spring semester, Maryland is different. Through the existing freshmen connection program, students who have been accepted into the spring semester are also able to take classes at the university of Maryland during the fall semester. Students are offered the same resources and experience as regular fall semester students.

I wanted to attend a large state school and be near a city. With UMD I got the best of both worlds. I was able to go to football games, participate in greek life ans student government and get to explore DC.
