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

AMANDA

ONE THAT PLANS ON ACHIEVING ALL THERE GOALS AND BEING VERY SERIOUS ABOUT IT.

Paola

The kind of person who should not attend this school is someone who does not have the will and motivation to succeed and is only there to party. The school has many activities and extracurricular activities available, but if a person who does not have their priorities straight attends this school, then they will most likely fail their first semester in college.

N

The kind of student who just wants to party.

Justin

The University of Maryland is not the kind of school for those who do not want a large campus with a very large number of students. If you want a small secluded campus with a small class size than University of Maryland is not for you. The campus can get busy and a little crowded sometimes, so if you are not a people person, that may be a problem.

Stacy

A person who does not like to walk around a lot should not go to this school because the campus is very large.

Amnah

The University of Maryland is a large school, centered in a metropolitan area and has a largely diversified student body. Some students, as myself, love this bustling city-like atmosphere, with classes of 100 some students. However, such an environment is not recommendable for all students, especially those who prefer smaller classes and want to be known by their name and not just a number. I suggest those students who are very conservative and shy not to attend this school because in order to mingle well with the college community they must be confident, outgoing and full of energy.

My best advice for picking the school you like is to visit the school and interact with the people there. If you do not fall in love with the campus, if you do not fit in with or enjoy being around the students, and if you?re professors are not the kind of person you enjoy being around, then do go to that University or College. University of Maryland is no exception, but do not discount this college because you think you will get lost; frienships and inner communities form fast and last long.

Coming to this campus, you should know that it is a big public school. If you aren't good around big crowds of people than Maryland isn't for you. Maryland is very diverse within religion, race, political views. If it is hard for you to accept other peoples beliefs, than it would be a hard journey but don't be discourage by that. Other than that, Maryland is a great school and has many opportunites for everyone to get involved in.

Angel

The person who shouldn't attend Maryland, is a person who does not want to be intellectually challeged. Otherwise I say that the University of Maryland is for everyone. There are so many activities on campus that it's hard to not keep busy. Academics are the most important thing so you should be ready to work from the first day. With all the activities to do, one must learn how to mange time effectively. I believe that anyone will enjoy the campus life and the people.

I think anyone would be able to succeed at Maryland. There are so many options available to you and so many possible things to become involved with. There are a range of career paths you follow and although there are large classes if you make an effort you can become really close iwth your professors. Maryland is a school that becomes what you make of it and if you want to do well you have all the tools you just need to have the want.
