Thread predictably jumped the shark.

There are always 2-3 posters prepared to sing UMCP's praises, but it always comes across as isolated and over-the-top. You never get the sense that there really are a lot of excited UMCP graduates or that many kids from this area are particularly excited about the prospect of going there.

I dunno. The over-the-top enthusiasm from these 2-3 posters actually says to me that there really are some super-excited UMCP grads.

You mixed this issue up with the question about whether kids from MoCo want to go there. I do have to agree with you that enthusiasm seems to be lacking, at least with my DS, ex ante.

What's over the top? Just because UMDs achievements, resources and inside the Beltway prestige dwarf the competition , no need to go debbie downer. Lol

1) Umd has more Nobel, Pulitzer ,fields medal ,academy award and Emmy award alumni than any school in the ACC.
2) Umd has more national championships (47)than any school in the ACC. ( For example Virginia Tech has zero).
3) College Park has less violent crime than Charlottesville by a significant amount.
4) Umd grads invented/created the following.
Google, Underarmour, pulse Dopplar radar, Sirius satellite radio, Seinfeld , The Muppets, linear programming , the universal product code , broke watergate , liberty meadows , boondocks , the Wire, the Octane System, the first large screen stadium television , the miniturized insulin pump, coronary stents , the automatic parachute , retractable landing gear , the hybrid engine.
Most of these products of Umd alum are greater than anything out of all the ACC schools combined.
5) Umd is a member of the AAU.
6) Umd is a member of the CIC, the Big Ten schools including Hopkins and Chicago. It shares resources and allows for students to take classes between institutions .
7) Umd as installations from the following agencies and organizations ON CAMPUS... NASA , FDA, USDA, Homeland Security, the National Weather Prediction Institute, the American Physics Institute, Raytheon, the National Center for the Study of Foreign Language. NIH .
8)Umd is ranked higher than Uva in every world university ranking.
9) College Park is undergoing a massive development including a huge 4 star hotel and conference center along with 9 other large developments along route 1 including a Whole Foods center , Urban Outfitters center, and a ton of retail/office /residential projects.
10) Umd - Umd Baltimore have a 1billion plus per year research budget which is top 5 in the nation.


Opinion. Umd is a large Big Ten school in a semi urban location located inside the beltway of the Nations Capital. It is not a school for shrinking violets. Children graduate from Umd more adult and tougher than they went in. It's my opinion that is why the alumni have produced so many geniuses and inspired creations. My kids go there and never come home. They are always busy with their friends from Annapolis , Baltimore , NJ, and NY.. Lol.

This is incredible info. UMD is very humble not to blast this every day.

Probably a better decision than talking to yourself all the time.

Nope, it's UMCP that's being referred to above. UMD could refer to any of the 6 campuses listed below.

University of Maryland, Baltimore
University of Maryland, Baltimore County
University of Maryland, College Park
University of Maryland Eastern Shore
University of Maryland University College
University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science
