University of Maryland is a school with everything. If you want to get involved, there are clubs, organizations, multi-ethnic groups, what seems like every type of religious service, volunteer groups, club athletics, non-major music programs, fraternities and sororities, student community centers and much more. If you need help with careers, there is a career center, academic advising, internship/job fairs, and research opportunities for both graduate and even undergraduates. If you go to the University of Maryland, you can explore any interest, travel down any avenue of opportunity of which you can think.

There are alot of oppourtunities to meet many different people with different personalities, interests, talents and cultural backgrounds. The University of Maryland is not only diversed in the people that attend, but it's large size makes it possible for the vast number of clubs and organizations that any student can join. I garuntee that any student can find an organization to join that is of interest to them. There is a lot of school spirit, and other fun events.

The happy feeling I get walking around campus is the biggest aspect of school that I brag about the most. The university's large campus, consisting of a wide array of buildings, several fields and a mall, gets me so mesmorized by its beauty. The mall is a feature that I love the most because when I walk along its path, I enjoy seeing other students walk by or take part in different activities like simply lying on the grass during breaks or taking part in activites like frisbee or catch. The mall is a place where everyone feels united.

These span from international connections to online databases to state-of-the-art equipment to top-notch professors and courses. Overall, it is an amazing university that should never be overlooked.

From the countless extracurricular and opportunities provided by the school, Maryland is a great place to try new things, meet new people, and truly enjoy the entire undergraduate experience. In addition, UMD has an ideal campus location near the nation’s capital that allows students to explore the city conveniently via the metro while also having a tight-knit suburban community feel. I really believe that the quality and diversity of campus life is unbeatable at UMD.

Rachel

Maryland boasts an incredibly diverse campus, and coming from a tiny, homogenous town, it's a welcome change. Many of my friends went to colleges similar in size as our high school, and thus they miss out on meeting people from all different backgrounds. It's great to make friends with stories completely different than my own. It expands my horizons by taking me out of the "bubble" of my hometown and high school.
