    I am enjoying my experience at the University of Maryland because there are so many college activities that one can participate in free of charge. These free activities provide a medium for you to meet more people.There is also a great staff that helps when homework and class work when material gets a bit challenging.

    I love the school! The atmosphere is charged with that academic feel constantly, but not so much as to make it a boring school. Often times that feeling of academia is overlapped by the anticipation of the next football or basketball game, or the joyous feeling of celebration after finals or mid-terms.

    Every beginning of the new semester, there is a thing call 'look fare'. This event will be held in front of the main library and will have all kinds of religion related groups, ethnic related groups (KSA, CSA, JSA and so on), solarity/fraternity groups and so on. School work will be tiring and really tough but if you attend those kinds of clubs you will for sure enjoy being in college.

    College Park is really the most fun and interesting University to attend. Through my first year and a half here so far I have made some cool new friends and gone to some really wild parties. Another reason why I enjoy being at Marylland is because of all the intramural and club sports offered. From basketball to swimming to badminton whatever sport that you like or are interested in Maryland most likely offers it.
