What are the campuses and neighborhoods that surround the University of Maryland and George Mason University like? Likes/Dislikes any details appreciated. Thanks.
As a parent oi a UMD Grad, I always enjoyed going there for a visit. I don’t know anything about George Mason U.
@SoofDad , can you be more specific about campus? I’d love to hear. Also, what is the area surrounding campus like?
The Campus is big, 1300 acres. New Buildings, older buildings. a big green space mall in the middle (McKeldin Mall). A nice Football stadium, a Terrific basketball stadium.
A Beautiful new Hotel directly across the street from the Main Entrance. Bars, restaurants, some convenience shopping and apartments along Route 1
New construction here and there.
You can use Google Earth to explore the area, if you cannot visit
Thanks for your perspective. We will visit eventually, when we can. I happened to read several of your threads earlier that were helpful from 2017-2018 about different U of MD topics. They were very insightful.
