I loved the big campus. There is so much to do for any type of person. I was in a sorority and that helped make the college smaller as well as get me more involved in other actitvities. Also the class sizes really were not that bad. The lectures were larger class sizes but the labs and discussions were smaller groups.

The best thing about the University of Maryland is the campus. It is a suburban location with an urban feel.

The first thought that came to my mind when I arrived at UMD was, "WOW this place is huge". I thought walking from a far parking lot was going to be torture, and sitting in classes with so many other students useless. But I was wrong. I raelized that the beauty of it all is that so many people from all around the country, or should I say all around the world, have come here together and all strive for the same thing, success. It gives me energy and hope to see so many people striving for the same purpose.

I love the diversity and the size of the campus. For some people it could be too big but I love it. There is always something going on on campus, whether its a party, a guest speaker, a theater performance, a football game (go Terps!); it is a very active campus. There are hundreds of groups and clubs on campus also so no matter what you're interested in there is probably a club for you. It's a great way to meet people.

The campus is beautiful. Sometimes, I wonder if I made the right choice about coming to the University of Maryland. But, everytime I look up at the sky, I know that this is where I belong. I have the pictures on my cell phone to prove it.

The best thing about the University of Maryland is the incredible people that work there. From the Dean's secretary to the campus diner cashier, everyone is genuinely interested in helping you get exactly where you need to go with the right tools to do so. I don't believe I would have been able to navigate my education as well as I have without the assistance of the encouraging UM staff and faculty.

The school spirit and energy of sports fans is exciting and fun.

The best thing about my school is the diversity of programs. Being a large school, University of Maryland has many programs that complement and broaden the student's education. In my case, I am a dance major with a large interest in anatomy and kinesiology. UMD is the only school in the area that offers a kinesiology program.
