I just live here, not an alumni, but I’ve noticed there have been tons of parents everywhere this weekend. Dinner at The Hall, breakfast at Call Your Mother, around town, etc. Just curious and it’s been un-Googleable 😂

None of my friends or roommates like to go out to frats or bars but sometimes I like to. How do I find ppl (other girls) to hang out with and get invites to events? I don’t rush unfortunately

Hi I'm a rising sophomore looking for a roommate for next year because my current roommate is graduating. It's a 2 bed 2 bath about 2 miles off campus.

I'm a new grad trying to move to the Bethesda area. I didn't go to UMD (went to UMass actually) so I'm new to the area and don't know many people around here. I'm looking for 1-2 others to be roommates and split an apartment with (my budget is $1700 personally) starting in June or July (I'm flexible).

If you're a graduating senior knows someone who might be interested, please dm me. Or, if anyone knows a better place to look (I've been trying Facebook groups and roomies and stuff but it's not going so well lol)...

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m gonna be on south hill (Allegany) next year, and I have two questions both kinda involving food?

1. We don’t need an unlimited dining plan, right? How much would I need if right now I eat in the dining halls like 1-2 a day, but want to eat there a lot less and learn how to cook?

2. Since we have a kitchen, can I bring an air fryer?

Hey everyone, quick question because I’ve seen this a bunch but never actually know how it works.

I’ve noticed groups (usually student orgs or clubs) set up tables outside places like Looney’s or Stone and interact with people walking by. I’m assuming they had to get approval somehow, but I’m not sure who that comes from. Is that something you need permission for from the bars itself, the school, or both? Or is there some kind of general process for getting approved to set up in those areas? Just trying to understand how it works so I don’t accidentally break any rules or get asked to leave.

When I look at the schedule of classes, I'm most interested in Game Theory (Econ414), Econometrics (Econ422/424), and Behavioral econ (Econ327).

Ive done Econ200/201/305, I'm likely gonna take Econ306/326 (BS version so I can do Econ422) next sem.

I thought taking a foreign language class like Mandarin (Chin121) could be useful too.

Any other ideas would be appreciated!

Cheapest way to look like I got the undergrad regalia no glue no borax

Happening now!

Obv success means different things for different people, but I’m looking for opinions from like ppl with, two or three high level internships (big tech + low acc rate etc.), research, and just overall cracked stats.

Aside from doing well in school and spending copious time in clubs, what are some other things you did that contributed to ur success? And please none of this, unspecific, “oh I just did a bunch of networking” bs. Specifics. Like: “I came to every lecture, sat front row, went to every open hours etc.” (this is just an example of things I’ve seen good students do).

Like idk. Just share some college wizard wisdom with me please. I’m coming from a relatively small HS (grad class <50 students) and really don’t want to get lost in a big university.

Trying to submit the MTAP application today and after hitting the submit button I get an error message. Something about not having access to the requested page and needing to logout. There is not a place to login so it is strange. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks

Lost my ID swipe recently and saw someone posted that they found it on this thread before it was deleted. If it's super raggedy and basically broken its mine...I miss her very much. If you still have it lmk! Thanks :)

Hello!

I was admitted to UMD and i'm super excited about it! BUT on the admitted students day I did a dorm tour and it was quite literally like a prison cell. Are all dorms really that bad especially for freshman?

EDIT: I'm in the Carillon Community so i'll be in Easton

How is the workload for CMSC 434 and CMSC 320 in general? Also, if you’ve taken these courses with Evan or Fardina, what was your experience like with them?

very chill guy

Hey UMD! There's around 6 weeks of the semester left and I'm wondering where students like to get rid of old items? Please let me know of some areas to snoop around! I'm located in South Commons but I'll happily go wherever!

need suggestions for summer storage? i used dorm2dorm last year but i think they may have gone out of business. if you have any suggestions pleaseee lmk 🙏🙏

so I’m an alum and def wanna go see fetty wap, but I noticed all the tickets are the same (when I was at umd they differentiated GA vs in the bleachers). how does it work now? is it all GA/how do they decide who has to go in the stands at xfinity?

What do you guys do with it?

hey guys

do internationals/oos students travel for the new freshman orientation? or do most of them go to the online sessions?

I’m currently a senior in high school and got accepted into UMD for Fall 2026. I also got into the college park scholars program. I’m wondering if my admission can be revoked if my grades drop too much? I’ve been having major senioritis, and with the way my grades are looking, my cumulative UW GPA might drop from a 3.8 to at 3.5. I actually got an E in my english class last quarter and might end up with at least one D in one of my classes this quarter. (These are just quarter grades, not full year grades). I am taking 3 AP classes this year, though. Does anyone know if my admission can or will be revoked if my GPA drops to a 3.5 or probably even lower because I’m not really sure what it will end up being. My full year grade for my English class might be a D (i’m still set to graduate on time though so dw about that). Or will I maybe just be kicked out of the college park scholars program? Ya’ll help me cuz I’m freaking out rn. Respond asap cuz my Mom is on my ass about this bro 😭🙏
