University of Maryland-College Park Top Questions

My school's astronomy department is incredible. The professors are brilliant and distinguished in their fields, but still manage to be very accessible to students and committed to teaching. They are more than happy to answer any questions I have and are eager to share their knowledge and enthusiasm with me. My experience with the University of Maryland astronomy department has solidified my conviction that I want to be a professor of astronomy some day, and I aspire to be a professor of similar caliber to those I have now.

One unique part of campus everyone knows about is "The Mall." It is a large, grassy area in the center of campus. On days with nice weather, there will be tons of students sitting around outside reading or doing work or maybe having a catch or tossing around a frisbee. At the top of the Mall, is McKeldin Library, our main campus library. It has seven floors and is the back-up for the Library of Congress.

The best thing about my school is the diffculty of the classes. The hard math and science classes make me study even harder so I can acheive my goal of one day becoming an engineer. Each and everyday is a greater strive towards my goal. Whether it be Calculus or Physics that keep me awake and active, it will all be worth it at the end.

There are so many attributes that I love about the University of Maryland that makes this question rather difficult to answer but if I have to come down to one thing it would definitely be the diversity. Any school or instituition have their own level of challenging courses that all students must strive hard in to achieve good grades. I love the challenging courses that University of Maryland provides but the diversity is a reminder to myself that there are many others out there that are trying their best to make a place for themselves in the world,

Looking at the flip-side, the University of Maryland definitely caters to professors and students alike who have research and STEM-based interests given that this is one of it's shining areas of academic interests and recognition. Also, the business school, properly known as the Robert H. Smith School of Business is both very aesthetically pleasing and generously funded, cause for much boastfulness within that particular college network of individuals on the university campus. Overall, students are given several opportunities, both in and out of the classroom who belong to both above-mentioned areas of academic interests.

One factor that the University of Maryland has that captured me was its diversity. This is important to have when trying to be successful because it gives a person new perspectives and create different ideas. Also they can gain experience and knowledge of other culture.

Exceptional students and professors. Amazing campus.

The campus is really large and beautiful. You don't see the surrounding neighborhood until you leave the campus grounds. When you arrive on campus, you know you are in college because it is separate from the outside neighborhood. Also, even though the university is really large, it isn't too large to the point where you cannot walk to you classes and arrive on time.

I feel the best thing about the university is how close it is to DC and Baltimore which provides students with the location to find many internships that could set them up for a very profitable career in their future.

The best thing about our school would definitely be the diversity. UMD boasts that it carries a very diverse student body, and when you enter the campus, that is exactly what you see. I feel that being comfortable in such an environment, and embracing it during college, is vital to succeeding in today's world. With globalization at its peak, persons need to be aware that they will come into contact with others all over the world. Having a school that embraces ethnic differences and diversity surely helps prepare students for such a world.
