University of Maryland-College Park Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend University of Maryland-College Park?

Enzo

A student who believes that UMDCP is a party school.

Matthew

An open minded, hard working, and committed student should apply to the University of Maryland. We are a strong research and business university with a balanced social scene. Our campus provides numerous academic and social opportunities for the most unique of students. Our large campus is easily broken up into subcultures that provide a small university atmosphere. Terrapin pride is infectious and the school spirit is abundant and tasteful. The University of Maryland provides a beneficial and fun personal experience for every student that talks the walk past the big "M".

A person who is lazy and doesnt want to do work.

People with extreme religious believes such as creationists, probably would not work very well in a scientific and progressive environment as the one that is offered at University of Maryland. However, since the University is characterized for being multicultural, I guess that this kind of people have the opportunity to attend school but may disagree with some academic contents such as evolution theory.

I wholeheartedly believe that there is a type of person who shouldn't attend UMCP. As I mentioned, the school is so versitile that each and every student is able to find his or her own niche and enjoy school. However, if you do not like urban/suburban settings, UMCP may not be the school for you because College Park has a lot of late night life (restaurants, bars, parties, etc). College Park isn't completely urban like Boston or New York City, but there is a strong suburban feel.

A person who is not dedicated to academic excellence should not attend this school. Neither should a person who is neither focused nor willing to strive for success.

Markia

The type of person who should not attend the University of Maryland is a person who is not very educated and goal oriented, lazy or easily stressed. To be sucessful at this school you most be a hard worker because the course load is not light and there is never any room for slacking if you want to do your best. Also because the course load can be difficult to keep up with at times stress comes easily and you have to be the type of person who has a personal understanding of stress management and know how to cope.

Minh

People who are very lazy and slack of enthusiasm should not attend this school since it is wasteful of their money and time.

Katherine

The diversity and number of opportunities available at Maryland truly makes it a college for everyone! However, being a hard-worker and an engaged student is definitely a requirement to succeed here, so someone who is uninspired and doesn't want to engage in their learning shouldn't attend University of Maryland.

University of Maryland, College Park, is not for people who prefer a small campus and small classrooms. At this school, students do a lot of walking since the dormitories are distal to the lecture halls, library and student unions. Therefore, people who don't like to walk for a long time should not attend this school. Addtionally, this university receives a lot of crime, espcially theft, since its an open community and because it is proximal to Washington D.C. Thus extremely fearful people should not attend this school but look into other universities.
