I really loved University of Maryland! So much so, I would take the opportunity to take higher education there as well. I thought the campus was beautiful, the people were mostly kind and welcoming, and the faculty were exceptional, especially in their backgrounds. I'm biased, but the Japanese department in particular I loved because it was small and tight-knit. I had a blast in the student organizations I were in. The only gripe I could have is that there was always construction going on and the... Read More surrounding area (college park, PG county) was a little dry.

My experience at UMD has been kind of a mix of everything. The good, stressful, fun, and honestly a little chaotic at times. Academically, it’s definitely not easy. Classes can hit hard depending on your major, and there are moments where you’re just trying to survive deadlines, exams, and group projects all at once. But at the same time, that pressure kind of forces you to grow up fast and figure things out, which I actually appreciate looking back on it. Outside of classes, the campus life is probably... Read More the best part. There’s always something going on, whether it’s events, sports games, or just people hanging out. You meet all kinds of people, and it’s pretty easy to find your group if you put yourself out there. I also like how there’s a balance, you can be social and active, but you can also just chill and do your own thing when you need to reset. One thing that stands out is how diverse everything feels. Different backgrounds, interests, and perspectives are everywhere, and that makes conversations and experiences a lot more interesting. It doesn’t feel one-dimensional at all. That said, it’s not perfect. Sometimes it feels like you’re just another number, especially in bigger classes, and figuring out certain administrative stuff can be frustrating. Also, balancing everything, school, social life, maybe work, can get overwhelming if you don’t manage your time well. Overall though, I’d say my experience at UMD has been worth it. It’s pushed me, challenged me, and helped me grow, even if it wasn’t always smooth. I’ve made solid memories, learned a lot about myself, and built skills that I know I’ll carry forward.

The University of Maryland is a great place to complete an undergraduate degree, as it's highly ranked for a lot of different types of majors, allowing you to know you can switch majors and still graduate from a great program. It's located in a great environment because it is isolated with a campus feel, but it also has a metro stop on campus and is extremely close to a major city in Washington D.C. The University has great corporate partnerships, which allows students to find jobs fairly easily... Read More through career fairs on campus. I met some of my best friends at the University of Maryland and wouldn't trade my experience for any other university.

The University of Maryland - College Park was a big step in my life. Although I just went to college down the street, this university was always a place I wanted to attend. I made so many friends, participated in many organizations, partied very hard, and earned a degree that is helping to shape the life I want to live. Academically, it was rigorous and challenging to really carve a path for myself. At first I was an undecided major that went into kinesiology not knowing if I would even make it ti... Read More junior year after seeing the course load. Anatomy, physiology, chemistry, physics, biomechanics etc were all red flags to me that college probably was a step above what I could achieve. However, I met people who became my friends and showed me that college is just a bigger form of high school. I stuck my head down, did all my assignments, and graduated with a decent gpa similar to high school.

I attended University of Maryland College Park from 2021 to 2024 while working full-time. I loved the supportive environment of the professors and my peers; honestly public health students and people who work in the field are one of the kindest and caring individuals!! Some of the classes I wanted to take were not available to me because they were only offered during certain times of the year which is unfortunate. Overall, it was a great experience attending the school, even though the job market... Read More is difficult for MPH graduates these days I don't regret getting this degree.

I loved my experience at Univ. of MD. It had everything I wanted in a college including excellent courses, a beautiful campus, and an active student life environment. The enrollment size is large so a strong Greek system was important to me because getting ingolved helped make the school feel smaller and gave me a sense of belonging. I also really appreciated being so close to Washington, D.C> which added some great opportunities to interact with students from schools there. Overall, I feel that...
