University of Maryland-College Park Top Questions

Anyone who is after an elite degree and is accepted into a better school. Apart from a more prestigious university, I see no reason I would advise and prospective students not to attend here. The large and diverse population of College Park means that services and activities are provided for people of all interests, sociall as well as academically.

People who are looking for small class sizes, and a small campus should not attent this school.

If you are someone who is lazy and has no thrive to become involved in any activities outside the classroom do not attend this university.

Someone who cares about integrity.

There's no one person that shouldn't. If you dont like larger classes, then you can't apply to many colleges and universities in general because you cant avoid large class sizes. Some thing with the opposite, good and bad food, easy and hard teachers. Everyone goes through it at one point. It's only a matter of "Is college for you?" and, if it isn't, "What should you do instead?"

I would not recommend this school to anyone with non-research based interests, such as those interested in liberal arts should seek elsewhere for their higher education due to the minimal funding, attention, and resources available to students who are in the arts and humanities, behavioral and social sciences, and non-STEM fields. Also, someone who would like intimate and personal engagement with their professors would be more likely to receive this type of attention at a smaller university setting. One receives more attentions from TA's and must inquire and do one's own research for many things.

I do not recommend UMD to students who drifted by in high school- for such students will more likely lose than gain momentum.

It is the perfect college for everyone who needs a bright future, so no one is excluded from attending the school.

If you are a person who really can't handle big lecture halls then this is not the place for you. Also, though not the biggest University space wise, some walks to class will take up 20minutes depending on what part you are on and where you are going.

If the student is lazy and thinks that just because Maryland is a public school they can fly by with there classes, that is not the type of student that wants to come to Maryland. University of Maryland is very challenging even down to the art and communication classes. They trick students by making it seem like the class is easy by giving the class an eye catching name, but usually the class is extremely hard, so no lazy students is what I would suggest.
