I wasted two years at this university obtaining my Masters and would not recommend it to anybody. The faculty are so engrossed in their own personal agendas (including politics) to the degree that half of a 2.5-hour class might be spent debating irrelevant topics like modern day gender as opposed to the subject material, and of course only certain viewpoints in said discussion would be tolerated. Due to this time wasting, I barely learned anything over the course of two years, since what we did cover was so basic that I had already known it from undergrad. Nevertheless, the pace of the department was cutthroat, and you'd always be scrambling frantically to finish one assignment or another, none of which are worth your time anyway. The funding was scarce, and without another part time job (since the university does not allow you time for such a thing), I was only barely able to afford my apartment even in the relatively cheap college park area. Do not go here. Unless you are already of the exact same mind as the teachers, they will belittle you, and even if you are, the education you receive is not worth the time spent attaining it nor the inflated workload.
