I love the education offered at my school. There are so many opportunities to learn and educate ourselves to better our futures. The University of Maryland has almost any class you could ever imagine along with great faculty that really cares. I love our science departments in particular.

I think that the best thing at my school is the diversity. There are many individuals of many different races that attend the University of Maryland College Park. That allows me and all the other students of UMD to evolve and learn more about different cultures and become more aware of current events in the world.

I consider the best thing about my school is the James Clark School of Engineering. This engineering school is will allow me to complete my goal, which is to graduate from the University of Maryland with a degree in mechanical engineering. The engineering school is considered one of the best schools for engineering. The school teaches the students what they need to know, in order to accomplish what they want in life. The school also holds various events throughout the year to help the students. Finally without this school I would not be here at the University of Maryland.

The diversity of my school is one of its best things. You meet people not only from all over the country but also from different parts of the world. Having such strong diversity really allows students to grow as students and global citizens because they gain a sense of what life is like for those who come from different backgrounds.

The best thing about my school is the diversity and numerous opportunities provided. I love being able to meet so many different people since College Park is such a large environment. I love the friends I have made and the classses I have been able to take. Internships in DC are readily available, and the school is extremely helpful in finding different opportunities for its students.

Our diversity is the best thing. From race to major to sports to religion, there is such a variety on this campus. It's great to be able to experience so many different cultures that I've never been around before.

all the activities to do.

The best thing about Maryland is the flipside to question 1: this school's diversity. Its size brings people from different backgrounds, views, and ideas. Some of them are bound to be interested in the same things you are. I've been lucky enough to find a group of people who are passionate about the same things I am and who have similar dreams and goals. Being surrounded by those people has made my time here meaningful and invaluable, and I may not have found them if this college didn't require you to discover its smaller communities within.

It is a highly respected research institution, we are doing cutting edge research that is published in magazines like Scientific American, and also because of this reputation there are a lot of famous intellectuals that come to give talks and lectures. Hearing from world famous individuals within academia is an opportunity that disappears once you leave school and not enough students take advantage of it. Between the close proximity to DC for internships and research opportunites, there is plenty of experience to be gained while one is still in school.
