Univerity of Maryland is a large, large university. Its easy to get lost among the large classes, and large amounts of freedom, especially your freshman year. However, as most people will say, college is what you make of it. By getting involved in something you're interested in it was very easy for me to make a huge campus into a small one. what also helped me to establish some friendships, even before i came in as a freshman, was to do some pre-college programs—eg TENTS, RISE, orentation, GEMS camp. Certainly however, making friends in classes and on your hall was not only easy, it was almost inevitable.

I love UMCP, and wouldn't trade the school experience for many other schools. There's always a place to go, thing to do, or people to hang with, no matter what your interest.

Responses
responseMy experience at the University of Maryland - College Park was both enriching and socially fulfilling. While the large campus might seem daunting initially, taking part in pre-college programs and getting involved in extracurricular activities like TENTS, RISE, and GEMS camp helped me transform it into a smaller, close-knit community. Safety was a priority, and I cherished the abundance of opportunities to make friends and engage in various interests. Lab grown diamonds UMCP provided an unforgettable college experience I wouldn't trade for anything else.
