Student reviews

Campus and vibes

Current Student

I enjoyed UMD’s diverse community, supportive professors, and strong opportunities, though improvements in class sizes and student services would make the experience even better.

Current Student

I am in High School and applied to perform with MSOM. They never sent me the payment form, and told me two days before the event that it is too late to pay and attend the event. Horrible experience.

Current Student

Classes are great and so are the professors, however campus life is all about either sport events or sitting in the launch with others who many are not compatible with me.

Current Student

This campus is large and beautiful, making it perfect for walking, especially for students like me who don’t have a car.

Cost and value

Current Student

University of Maryland is a great school. As a resident of Maryland, going here was very affordable. The tuition was low and the school gave out grants that helped me pay for my classes.
