[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish that College Park was a nicer town in general.  I know PG county is making strides but right now it's not a very inviting entrance onto campus.

I also wish MD had more than one "good" state school.  Va has William and Mary AND UVA.  It would be nice if MD had a second well regarded school in another part of the state.[/quote]

Have you been to College Park lately?[/quote]

I was last there in Feb.  yes, there is a lot of construction.  But it's always seemed to me that UMCP is a campus plunked down in the middle of suburbia.  It lacks the surrounding atmosphere of a city school like Columbia and it lacks the sounding atmosphere of a rural college like Cornell.  It's just there....surrounded by the suburbs.  Once you get onto campus, it's lovely.  There is a lot of green space and it's a large campus that feels like college.  It's just the approach to the university that is blah.[/quote]

Sure it has a blah surrounding area like Princeton, but it is <10 mile to union station, and there is a metro stop to the city.
