[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And the Web Site is UMD.edu [/quote]

That's because it's the flagship campus and was the first to have a significant web presence. To faculty, it is the only University of Maryland campus that matters, and the only one with national name recognition. Outside the university, in professional contexts, it's just called the University of Maryland. Within the system it's UMCP. The general public forgets that it's a system, perhaps because UMCP is so dominant within the system.[/quote]

This. Lifelong Maryland resident here. If someone says "Maryland" or U Maryland" they are talking about College Park. The other universities are called "UMBC" or other more specific names.[/quote]

Exactly the same thing with University of Wisconsin, University of Illinois. University of California -- everyone knows that these refer to the flagship, but some people get uptight about not including the city.[/quote]

Not really for California, Berkeley and Los Angeles are both flagships. [/quote]
