The University of Maryland, College Park is a large public research university just outside Washington, D.C., known for strong academics, active student life, and Division‑I “Terps” athletics. Students often rave about the walkable campus, the Big Ten sports energy, internship pipelines to D.C. and federal agencies, and the mix of big‑school opportunities with smaller‑community feel in honors programs and living‑learning communities.
Common Majors
computer science, business (finance, marketing), psychology, criminology
“being at Maryland means having a huge campus with tons of things to do, yet still feeling connected through clubs, sports, and D.C.‑tied internships; it’s easy to find a niche where you feel like you belong while still chasing big opportunities.”
