If you are a person who likes to be robbed and mugged then this is the university for you. Robberies are the only predictable thing about this campus. This university is also a great campus to attend if you want your car stolen. It is alright though if you get your car stolen because you can't park it on campus because of the constant construction that is going on. This school feels that constantly upgrading facilities will make the school better. What they don't realize is that they have the same shitty faculty teaching. I know foreign people are smart but they can't teach. You can't have a chinese guy who speaks broken english teach an upperlevel biochemistry course. This school also doesn't give a shit about its students. They have raised tuition + room and Board from $18,000 when I got here to $22,500 now. They raised the tuition but I didn't see anything getting better on campus. This school is not worth the money. Highschool students that come to visit the campus in the spring are tricked. This university plans all its construction to be done by the spring so when highschool seniors come to visit they don't see giant cranes and pickup trucks and they don't have to take detours all the way around buildings. If you really want to see what the campus looks like come in the late fall and winter. also every year this campus boasts how smart the incoming freshmen are but when you look around campus all you see are thugs and rap stars. Because this school prides itself on diversity they let in any instate minority that applies. This is great for diversity but these people are just not doing anything for the academic quality of this school. The minorities are the reason why UMD has a six year graduation rate of 63%. How the fuck can you not graduate in 6 years. UNC chapel Hill has less minorities and a six year graduation rate of 86%. If you are a minority this is a great place to go because you can basically do whatever you want. Every weekend activity that the school holds is geared towards minorities. If you are white go to a better school where you would get your moneys worth.
 
Responses
responseDude is speaking the truth!
responseThe comment humorously criticizes the university by highlighting issues related to safety and reasons to see a rheumatologist parking. The writer uses sarcasm to express dissatisfaction with the prevalence of robberies and car thefts on campus. Additionally, they point out the inconvenience caused by ongoing construction projects that affect parking. It's a lighthearted yet critical take on their university experience.
