<p>I need to apply to more schools and I happened to stumble upon UMD. I looked at pictures of the campus and it seems nice. Academically, it has just what I need. I just want to know what the student body is like. Is it diverse? What do they typically do for fun? What kind of setting is the campus? Are there cool places to hang out? Are there any stereotypes? Also, I live in Ohio so I would also like to know how it compares to Ohio State and the pros and cons of each. Thank you in advance!</p>
<p>Maryland prides itself on its diversity. The campus is accesible to Washington DC, but it is not an urban college setting. Many students attend the sporting events and participate in intramural sports. Many clubs exist where you can find a like minded group to enjoy a particular activity or academic focus. UMD may be considered a “party school”, but if that is not what you are into do not worry because you will find a considerable number of people that do not party!</p>
<p>Ohio State is likely to be the cheaper option of course, but you may qualify for some aid at UMD depending on your stats. </p>
<p>Also, you did not specify what you intend to study, which makes comparison between the two Universities difficult. </p>
<p>Feel free to message me if you would like to know more!</p>
