Visiting The University of Maryland
Wonder what the University of Maryland is really like? Visit!
Attend a Maryland Upclose information session, or join a tour group. For full immersion, go for the truly live: by hanging out with a real Maryland student, attending classes, eating in the dining hall and kicking back, as college students are known to do now and then.
When you are here, don't forget to: Walk the mall. Buy your first Terp t-shirt at the bookstore. Taste our homemade ice cream at the Dairy. Explore that huge climbing wall at the Campus Recreation Center.
