[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep saying that if only they had put UMD in Annapolis it would be much more desirable to my kids and many others. Instead, they put it in College Park... [/quote]

LOL.   Yep.  That's true!   DH and I both went to schools with really pretty campuses with inviting surroundings.. green, lakes, etc.    Neither one of us could get past the College Park thing. [/quote]

I attended UMD. The golf course is across the street, and there’s a trail on campus. Greenbelt Park, Lake Buddy Attick, the metro to all the art museums.

I do think they have taken away too many green spaces and north campus seems a bit crammed but it’s fine. Grass is not required for my education. There’s also the Clarice Smith Center, basketball, and all so walkable.

The purple line is annoying but not near most of the dorms.

We made sure to walk through South Campus at Maryland Day. There was sunlight on the green space (weather cleared up late afternoon) and you could hear the birds chirping. DS made his decision to be a Terp.[/quote]

Yep. If you aren't around the purple line construction, I'd say it is one of the nicest campuses I've been on. My DS attends and he and his friends joke about all of the construction but it's really no big deal to them. He loves the school and the campus. There are more than enough really beautiful open spaces if that is what you want. Most of his time is spent in classes and labs and the facilities are really amazing.

But this thread is about those that didn't want to attend UMD which is a weird thing to me. Your kid is going somewhere else. Why do you want to fixate on the school where they decided not to attend? [/quote]
