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.

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.

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.

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.
