Product Description
Introduction from the Author
The University of Maryland, College Park ultimately became my number one choice of colleges to attend after graduating from Leonia High School in New Jersey. Aside from receiving mostly conditional offers of admission to other schools that I had applied to during the fall of my senior year, I decided Maryland was my best option. Thanks to Success Magazine, I had learned that MarylandÂ’s business school was one of the top 25 in the country for entrepreneurs. This was the very thing that ultimately led me to select UMCP without even visiting the campus.
That was then, and boy was ‘then’ something. Now, UMCP is something else: it’s an institution that is better, stronger, and more impressive than ever before, while maintaining a certain special sense of tradition, family, and vision. Also, UMCP acts as the Flagship of the University System of Maryland and is making unbelievable headway in research, overall growth, and athletics.
In writing this guidebook, my goals are to inspire you to take a short journey into the minds and hearts of UMCP students and alumni, to evaluate and experience our University without even needing to visit the beautiful campus, its awesome facilities, or specific schools you may be considering, and to meet our cute but vicious terrapin mascot, Testudo, without even shaking his hand.
Then, upon realizing that UMCP may have that special something for you, I hope to motivate you to visit campus, speak to students, explore its facilities, and share the resources in this book with your family, friends, and roommates. If and when you decide to join the thousands of students already loving their lives at Maryland, consider sharing this guide with your Resident Assistant. Maryland RAs donÂ’t know everything. Trust me on this one.
