The worst thing about UMD: College Park are the dorms and the food. There's absolutely nothing that I've hated more since coming here than living in a tiny room with no air conditioner and horrible heating. The food gets old fast too, especially since the dining plan most freshmen get only allows them to eat at the dining hall. Once you get past those things though, it's a wonderful school.

The worst thing about my school would have to be the rainy or snowy days. College Park is an enormous campus, and sometime our classes are on the opposite side of the university, and sometimes when it is unbearable rain, we still have to walk to classes. I wish there was a way where we could just stay and our dorms, but still learn the material that would be discuss dint hat lecture.

The worst thing about UMCP is the surrounding area. Because we are an open campus, people who are not affiliated with the school can walk on, which is scary when you think about it. To know that the people you see walking around on campus could be the strangers your parents warned you about when you were little is very frightening. However, the administrators of CP have done a marvelous job of making sure that the students here are safe and protected.

The area around the school is dangerous and students get robbed quite often.

Since I am a starting freshman, i have not really observed any worst thing in my school. But the one thing i will consider is a major issue is the school population. the school is very huge and you have to sit in one of the little or huge lecture halls. sometimes you can't even get to meet one on one with the professor because of the huge number of people that scheduled an appointment before you. so you end up losing chances. Or some professors can't meet with you because they are too busy each day.

We are bad sports. I've been to my share of football and basketball games. In high school, we were always reminded to "cheer for our team, not against the opponent." At Maryland, we do both. Every game will consist of some cheer saying "[insert opponent's name here] sucks." We're pretty competitive; it's almost brutal.

While the Univserity of Maryland is a great school, I feel as though they can be too pricey with some of their merchandise and textbooks. Tuition alone is an expensive investment, so high prices for, say, a sweatshirt, datebook or even lunch can be a bit taxing, especially if a person does not have a regular income.

Given that the University of Maryland, College Park is increasing in being such a profound institution, it can be easily stated that the worst or in this case problematic thing is the lack of financial aid relief for students who are unable to meet unmet need payments from the cost of education. This is such an issue of alarm because although this campus is becoming academically popular, many current and incoming students struggle to both pay for and attain such a necessary education. Unfortunately, students are unable to further their education because of this dilemma.

Not living on campus because you don't really feel like you belong to the campus community and you miss out on events that take place at later times.

I hate the management. It's impossible to find someone who is actually concerned about your success. You are on your own at the school.
