The worst part about UMD is its spending on sports while some department buildings have the ceiling falling on you in the middle of class.

For anyone watching this, this is basically the Liberal Arts opinion about the school. The university is really known for its STEM majors. People in STEM majors definitely have a different opinion about the school.

@@user-hw9fr4fr6q The entire first half? You're talking about 1:00 where the girl is taking about colored people? Our president is a newly instated black president that was voted on by the school committee. This school has one of the most diverse colored populations with only 46.8% of the school actually being white.... There are actually more colored people at the school than white people if you can read that percentage correctly. And about the school deaths that seem to happen every semester. Its horrible that people die, but with 33,000 students and roughly 2 deaths per semester, thats only 0.0061% of the student population per semester and with that many students its probably not something that can be avoided 100% with every student aged 18-22 making their own choices on and off campus.

@@Jinouga502 Yes. It is great that we have diversity within the entire community. I am happy that people of my color are beginning to strive in positions like the new president. But there are still events like Sean Urbanski stabbing and the alt-right group (fall 2019) who come on campus who voice their prejudice ideals.

I like lots of people it's warmer and less intense on the social life because if you screw up there's always more people over there verses a smaller school where there wouldn't be more people there to fill up any blank spots . Small schools suck that way.
The amount of crime on campus and around campus. A student dies literally every year.
cost of housing, serious restrictions on parking, elementary over-simplified studies that lead to virtually nothing contributory to the modern workplace; insufficient preparation; 5 year out of date technology training; educators who carry a viscous streak when asked for presentation of examples of their points; 12 year old mentalities who bullshit in class (some who I wanted to throttle when they talked during a Kurosawa film).

@@yoleeisbored it’s definitely not lol. I went there and went to other colleges as well. For a in-state/public school, it’s very affordable (like 10-12k a year I believe). Obviously, it’s not as affordable as community colleges, but so much cheaper than other big colleges in similar rankings. It’s only crazy expensive when you’re an out of state student (think in the 30k a year just for tuition)

It's in a food desert, has horrible housing and landlords, and hate crime/rape is swept under the rug. Don't forget that it's so boring you have people getting hammered on a Tuesday at 5pm. Then there's the opaque student governance, predatory administration, an uninteresting student body, and venal approach to everything. Oh, and grad students can't collectively bargain. Undergrad culture was popping in the 80s-00s, but the STEMlords and business kids lamed up the campus pretty hard, and it became a neoliberal hellscape. The concert venues here died sort of like the kids from that black mold outbreak, so RIP. If you're a vanilla-ass person looking to join the rat race of getting DoD money, UMD is perfect for you. (Sort of different story if you're a grad though, the professors are some of the most gifted and talented people I've ever met, and being advised by them would be a blessing)

Hi, I like this may God empower you the more! Please are u a student in UMD? Just wish to ask if there's architectural or I'm that university
Worest part is all the undergrads taking up all the parking spots. Just have their parents drop them off when they go to class. No need to take up all the EV charging spots, too. And also, they need new 4K tv at the business school. Those old ass LCD hurts my eyes...

What a bunch of weak sauce people. UMD is an amazing school. Student complaining about cost?:) Try the private schools in DC, 3 times the tuition. Its public Ivy school. In engineering school, it is ranked really high, most profs graduated from MIT, what more do you want for the minor price you pay? Only negative in College Park is the crime at night. But, what university is doing a city wide improvement like College Park? The school has a University of Maryland College Park Hotel right across from campus, which school has that? Again, weak sauce students.
