Very specific on the wording of the answers on assignments, even if they're correct. You have to work extra hard to get a decent grade in the class.

University Reviews

Ever since I was in middle school I've wanted to go to UMD and when I got accepted I was overjoyed. This campus is so awesome, there are so many opportunities available to students, all of the colleges are pretty stellar when it comes to academics and the social life on the weekends (and tuesdaysthursdays) is to be rivaled. Only caveat, the wifi.

Its hard here man, I was a good student in high school but mannn is this stuff is hard son. Find your balance between partying and studying early, things get hectic after midterms. It's everything the seniors described (too much at once if you're not careful )

I went here for 1 semester because of the proximity to DC, which is fantastic. However, there's still room for the university's reputation to grow and I hope it does. I wouldn't go here if you're looking for vigorous academics. Main concern was always safety; we got campus safety alerts for pretty serious situations probably once or twice a week.

Great school, especially for criminal justice. Super close to DC so a lot of internships are offered there. Tons of awesome clubs. Food is gross though unless you eat at South Campus Diner. The internet is great when it's working but frequently drops from phones or refuses to connect on laptops. Overall awesome school, coming here is a good choice.

The school and campus are great however it is located in a rather terrible area and somewhat unsafe. Professors are generally good, especially in the Smith School, but the classes tend to be large. The undergraduate admissions office is useless. Most people are pretty cool. The football team is one of the worst in the conference.

Big school. You are just a number. Help is hard to find. The city itself is horribly crime-ridden and poor. If you enjoy partying it up, you will love this school (only reason the rating is so high). Metro is nearby so you can go down to DC at least. Commute sucks further out. A real campus and lots of things going on. Expensive.

The campus is gorgeous, the professors are top-notch, the sports teams are incredible, and the overall experience of being a TERP will be the time of your life!!

Go Terps. Wouldn't want it any other way!

The school itself is great and you've got plenty of opportunities to make connections but basically have no safety. Alerts go off all the time about suspects in robberies, flashing, and worse

So happy I came here- great education and amazing opportunities without paying $200 grand for a bachelor's degree.

UMD campus is the most beautiful school I have ever seen

Generally good but there is room for improvement, especially in safety and food

Big school

Awesome school love it.
