People who attend the University of Maryland should enjoy a very large school with endless possibilities. They must enjoy being part of large classes and meeting new people everyday. People who are interested in research should attend my school because we are one of the tp research universities in the nation. Also, people who attend my school should have high school spirit and like a school that is very focused on athletics and diversity as well as academics.

The type of student that should attend the University of Maryland, College Park is someone who is motivated, intelligent, and appreciateive of diversity. The University of Maryland strives for academic excellence by providing various top tier educational majors, exceptional proffesors, and reliable resources. Tutors and advising sessions help student stay motivated and choose the best educational path. The college also fosters cultural learning by embracing the different ethnic backrounds of students by allowing students to host clubs and promoting campus wide unity.

Tokunbo
If you are a person that is open to diversity. Someone that is not afraid of a big campus. A person needs to take the initiative to grab all the oppurtunites around them because there is a lot on this campus. You must be a diligent and hardworking person as well. Readings in most class are plenty so falling behind will not do a student well.
Anh-Hao
One of the greatest things about my school is its sheer size. As a result, the school is host to a wide variety of people. In general I would recommend that a person be fairly social if they plan on attending this school due to the volume of people one encounters on a daily basis. I could not recommend any single type of person to attend the school because that is not what my school is about. It would be very upsetting if the school wasn't the giant melting pot that it is now.
Shervin
This could could accodomate any type of student. This is a great school for everyone!
Emma
Anyone can come to this school. Though the school is liberal, people of every possible situation attend. I see students of so many ethnicities, religions, and languages: it is a wake-up call to myself that I am in the real world when I walk to class, passing two separate people on the phone, speaking two separate languages. I see a man that wears a dress and heels to class, another that wears no shirt or shoes at all, and then a woman that wears a cape. Everyone has the opportunity feel accepted, no exceptions.

UMD College Park is a very large school with a very diverse student body and academic setup. This school is great for someone who may not be sure what they want to major in. UMD offers almost any type of major imaginable and is a great place to go if you are undecided, or wanted to change their mind. The school also conducts a lot of research and would be perfect for someone interested in it. UMD is also great for someone who likes to get involved as there are hundreds of student groups and many opportunities to volunteer.
Sarah
Any student with a burning passion for their major and a desire to contribute their studies and academic curiosities to the real world would find University of Maryland perfectly fulfilling. The university offers an impressive selection of majors and minors, and countless ways to further one?s academic experience outside the classroom. On-site research opportunities, prestigious internships in the nation?s capital, study abroad programs in intriguing countries, independent study options, and flexibility in adjusting coursework to match specific interests are just a few. Best of all, Maryland does a great job helping students find funding for these endeavors.
Kimberly
Maryland's students come in all shapes and sizes. Some are very outgoing while others are more on the shy side. Each student however has a strong will to succeed in life and become party of the College Park experience. Any person with high expectations for life and those who want to meet wonderful people with both talent in the classroom and personal hobbies should attend Maryland. Each person who attends Maryland finds there own niche and explores his or her field to the fullest. No one specific type loves Maryland because all of the students do.
Meghan
Someone who is an "all around person." The typical Maryland student can balance studying, going out, volunteering, etc.
Sasha
People with sky-high goals and big dreams should attend the University of Maryland in College Park. UMD offers the resources and assistance any student would need in order to pursue the career that they have always wanted. Also, a person who enjoys a competitive atmosphere would find UMD to be their best fit. UMD's 9 Limited Enrollment Programs (LEP) are the toughest majors to pursue, and over half of the student body is in one or two of these programs. "Unstoppable Starts Here" was not coined without substance; every word of this UMD motto rings true for students.
Mei
Someone who likes big campuses and sports.
Gabrielle
Students should be dedicated, focused, and willing to learn. Students should be willing to understand diversity and involve themselves in culturally competent groups and activities. Students should not focus on the black and white experience of college, but be willing to step outside of the box.
Kourosh
You have to be ready to invest many hours studying and researching in your field. In my field, Physiology and Neurobiology, there are many horizons to be discovered and that is what makes it interesting, mysterious , and challenging. You have to have patients and be ready for solving many unresolved phenomenon in your field.
Justin
Someone who likes a big campus.
Aleksandr
someone who is not afraid of being at a big school. someone who is socially ept because otherwise it will be difficult to make friends. someone who is moderately intelligent at the least, someone who has a moderate to liberal political stance
Sean
A person who wants a BIG school. This school is enormous ,with a ton of kids. The campus is huge. A person who doesn't mind some really big classes during their freshman year because most of the introductory classes are very large. I would recomend this school to a person who is intersted in being a fan of division 1 sports. The varsity sporting events are extremely popular and draw huge crowds, especially if the teams are good. Maryland is a basketball school at heart, the students go NUTS for basketball season and the games are a great time.
