“Maryland is a HUGE school.BrightCriminal
Maryland is a HUGE school. If you like interaction with students and personal attention, do not go here. I am 22 yrs old and I feel like I'm back in high school. I really don't like the student body here. They are immature and snobby. I am trying to transfer to another school. Maryland is a good school academically, but it's too big for me.

“I dont like this school.BrightCriminal
I dont like this school. It is way too big to feel like an individual. I feel like I'm back in High School. A lot of undergrads are immature and loud. They don't care about school because their parents are paying. They care about looking attractive and going to parties. The quality of education here is good, but the campus size and the personality of the student body are negatives. However, I have liked the CCJS dept. They are very helpful and my classes relating to my major are interesting. DO NOT try to work and go to this school at the same time. You get so much homework and papers that you won't have time to do them. Also, if you don't have a computer it will be really hard as a lot of classes give you daily work on the internet. If I could transfer to another school, I would, but $$$ is an issue.

“The Aerospace department isQuite BrightAerospace Engineering
The Aerospace department is quite accomplished. The beginning classes are incredibly tedious and boring, but I expect to soon get to the fun stuff.Sports here are great. Basketball and Football games are just a joy to watch especially when we win.
