Went to 5 floors of bathrooms looking for one decently warm shower. Every single one of them were cold along with the water in a bunch of them smelling like it came straight from a sewer. Not only this but for the showers they have "curtains" to separate one another with literally no room to get dressed undressed or put anything at all near your shower so have fun streaking, taking cold showers, possibly smelling worse after the shower because of some of the rancid water, and of course getting no privacy what so ever in the showers. Oh and don't hope for the bathroom door to lock because it's just a handle to open it on either side in all 5 floors I checked. Really thinking I may wash my self in the creek as it would be better suited and equivalent to the privacy I would get for the task and it would probably not be as cold. On a better note, the dorms are kinda nice, in terms of size, for two people. However there are WAY better colleges out there and I wouldn't recommend this one to literally anyone. Even the community college back home has better facilities than this. Which is sad because this one apparently has two zip codes due to being so large. If you do have to come to this university for whatever reason, avoid Cumberland as best you can idk how this building's facilities are up to code/legal.
Racist University. Total/Complete waste of time. All the school truly cares about is your money (aka Tuition) and how they can milk you dry. They could care less about your future and it's worse if you're a minority! They hire some really bad Professors. For instance: Alice Mignerey--she is never prepared and has no idea what she is teaching, Atkinson-- Community Health Professor; who talks about her mother and family 75% of each lecture, through out the semester, Dr. Daughters- Controlling Stress and Tension; her class is so stressful and makes you feel very tense. Trust me, you WILL be stressed out taking that course! Alot of the people in that office of Student Conduct, are as racist as they come starting with Andrea Goodwin.
My Alma Mater. An excellent institution of higher ed. I loved the sprawling campus. I enjoyed learning from the expert faculty. You will not regret the UM experience. Go Terps!
The potential to learn here is endless. That being said it has it's flaws and one of them being is traffic flow. The campus seems to cater to more of a walking and biking environment, which I had no problem with, except they should change their design of the roads and walkways themselves . What I mean is to create walk way bridges over the roads so vehicle traffic is constant and reduces over all campus traffic. Their is simple bridge walkway designs like that in the Boston area, it helps with the flow of traffic. Next is bicycles, they are a vehicle by law, but don't follow the rules of the road which makes it dangerous for other drivers and especially for the individual on the bike. It also makes an individual walking not as safe, as they could be hit by a bicyclist, believe me I know, for I have been almost have been hit myself. Lastly the University needs to address the plaque of crime around the campus and maybe have check points that only students or prospect students are entering the campus. The campus is private and the roads on the campus are private as well so the campus has authority to do so. I believe that will help curve crime on campus.
Beautiful research university with a safe campus. The majority of professors are highly qualified and quite knowledgeable in their respective fields of study. Students have plenty of opportunities to conduct research and get academic assistance. Many of the facilities have been built within the past 10 years and older ones are, for the most part, well maintained. The cost of in-state tuition is dramatically lower than that of other schools, not just in Maryland but in the entire country. However, the price does not reflect the quality of the education, which is very high and increasing annually. Depending on the program--especially in the STEM fields--this school ranks with the likes of Michigan, UCLA, Purdue, and others. The University of Maryland truly offers a high quality secondary education on a constantly updated, already gorgeous campus in the Washington Metro Area. The relatively affordable price for in-state students is a unique bonus that few other schools--if any--of the same caliber can match. And, of course, it's proximity to Washington, D.C. and accessibility to public transit allows students and faculty to take advantage of the many opportunities for learning, research, entrepreneurship, touring, and relaxing that the nation's capital has to offer!
