University of Maryland-College Park Top Questions

Any person who is not dedicatyed and motivated towards achieving higher and excelling should not attend this school. Being part of the engineering program at Maryland, i find myself competing and striving for success everyday inside and outside the classroom. A person who is not organized or neat will find themselves drifting aimlessly. Overall, any person who is serious about their academics will fit right into Maryland.

U of M may not be your top choice if you're a small town kind of person. It boasts over 20,000 undergraduate students and to say it can be a bit overwhelming at times is an understatement. I have walked all over the entire campus hundreds of times and still find myself getting lost or happening upon new buildings I'd never seen before. I enjoy walking (not to mention, fast-walking to class wakes me up in the mornings when I'm running late), but for some the twenty minute hike to class is less than ideal.

If you do not like big universities. A lot of students go here!

The kind of person that shouldn't attend the University of Maryland-College Park is the person that is intimidated by a large campus and large group of students.

People who like small schools should notr attend this university.

Someone who has a difficult time making friends, doesn't like to drink or party, and isn't good at advocating for themselves. There are many opportunities available on campus, but it is completely up to the students to take advantage of them and to look for them. Making relationships with professors is also very important, and if someone prefers a small class where that relationship happens naturally, Maryland may not be the best fit for them.

This school has a very large campus. Those who feel they require a more personal experience, and would do better in a smaller environment and in smaller classes should probably not attend this school. You need to be ok with being in classes with sometimes over 200 students in them.
