<p>For those who want govt and politics, DS is in the scholars program and loves it.</p>
<p>They will also send you more info to fill out, you will be asked to rank which specialty area you want. I think they allow 2 choices.</p>

<p>College park scholars is one of their living learning program. You will live in the Cambridge community (dormed there b/c your colloquium classes are held there). Each major has only about 50-75 kids admitted per yr. so you will get a more close knit feeling. Most of your friends for 1st semester will be taking identical classes, thus making transitioning easier. The largest course DS had was 200-250 and that was Econ. Your diploma will state Scholars, and then the school.</p>
<p>I.E DS is Govt and Politics with a military history concentration. His school is UMDCP Behavior and Social Sciences with Scholars annotated.</p>
