Since UMD has a very big campus and a lot of diversity, any type of person finds it very easy to adjust into school environment. People at UMD are very friendly and helping, which bascially makes everyone attracted towards it. Faculty members are very helping and go beyond their duty to help students exceed academically. UMD has over 100 social groups, and it gives you an opportunity to start your own social group.

Definitely someone with an out going personality, it is a big campus, a shy person would probably be overwhelmed. Someone who enjoys sports. Someone who is looking to do engineering, buisness, or kinesiology.

This school is for absolutely anyone. Our student population is extremely diverse and the campus and classes fit everyone's needs. You can make this campus as big or as small as you want it to be.

This university is for students who are looking for all of the advantages of attending a large city school without living in the city. There is easy access to Washington D.C. while the campus itself is outside of the urban environment. The university is very research oriented and has state of the art facilities. Undergraduates are encouraged to take part in research, allowing for hands on learning experiences. Maryland is a large school, but the faculty are easily accessible and there are numerous on-campus resources that ensure the students are not overwhelmed by its size.

You need to meet the efforts of your professors halfway. Introductory classes may have 100+ students, but professors are quick to notice raised hands -- even if you sit in the back -- and many linger after class to answer questions. When I e-mailed my bioengineering professor for help on a research project, he replied past midnight with several paragraphs. If you can work hard on your own and ask for help, at UMCP you’ll get not only a great education but a network of faculty that notice you and are genuinely interested in your success.

A good kind of person for the University of Maryland needs to be perseverent. One needs spirit and persistence to overcome the many obstacles including both failure and the fear of failure. Since the school offers a wide variety of career paths and majors, it is easy to get lost and fear exploration. Students need to realize that the university is not only about competition to get ahead but also a doorway to discover oneself.
