To my suprise, I encountered many episodes of being treated unfairly while at the program. I strongly made a suggestion for the school to adopt a school id number system so that professors cannot grade their students unfairly.
I was shocked at how the professors would treat the students unfairly and also how many members of the university staff would simply not get back to me to address either my concerns or involvement in clubs/groups.
I'm not sure whether this had anything to do with being from a different ethnic group, but I believe that it may.

Other than the safety aspect (College Park is a suburb of DC and crime is on the rise), which everyone needs to look out for, the Univ. of Maryland provided the best "value-for-money" MBA I could find. I was very happy with the classes and professors. The facilities are generally excellent in the Business School and on the campus, and I had a great time there.
My only other gripe is with the way they raised tuition, each year, without increasing levels of assistance (in terms of TA salaries, tuition assistance, etc.).
Overall, a great school to get your MBA in.

I went to a small, private, highly competitve university as an undergrad. I was absolutely not prepared for the difference between the two schools. At UMD, staff and many of the students have an extremely provincial mindset. They raised the fees thousands of dollars before school began. I absolutely HATE this school. My tuition is a tremendous waste of money. I HATE it.

If you are a kind of person who loves to do research and like courses only for basic understanding of concepts. this is not the place for you. You will waste at least three years doing grad courses and not get sufficient time for research.
