[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We passed because admitted to Spring 2024. And Colege Park is a dud. [/quote]

LOL. Jealousy not sexy. [/quote]

Nothing to be jealous of. If he liked he would have gone. College Park has always been a zero. Even with all the new build its still a zero.[/quote]

I agree, and my kid was accepted with Honors. He's not going to UMD. We found the campus entirely awful. I'm very happy for all the families who like it, though! Good for you!

What's so bad about the UMD campus itself?[/quote]

PP you replied to. I went to UMD for grad school myself, and my building was modern with top notch labs for research. But for undergrads who need to stay on campus, it's not as pleasant. The Purple Line construction has been going on for years and is incredibly disruptive: it goes right to the center of campus, to the student union building. Parking lots have been pulled up, new buildings added, but driving around and even crossing the street is fraught because of construction, to say nothing of finding a parking spot. The seniors graduating now from UMD spent their entire undergrad dealing with this mess without getting the benefits. Also, unlike some other planned campuses, UMD feels very hodge podge, construction just plops down another building randomly somewhere. There's no sense of architectural planning. There are so many students it feels quite impersonal and the dorms and dining halls aren't that nice.
