I may have graduated from Maryland in 2006, but I made a foursquare list with some tips that can help you learn about Maryland, and find some fun things to do around campus. Check it out! :) 자세히 보기
Fun Fact: The pathways were unpaved when they first built the mall. The university waited a semester, then used the worn-down grassy areas students walked as a guide for where to pave. So cool :)
Get your keys out for key plays, join the "Let's Gooooo Mary-land" chants, and yell "Oh" during the national anthem (in honor of the Orioles). And wear some red, wouldja hon? Go Terps!
In their final year playing in Cole (2002), the Men's Basketball team won a national championship! After moving to the Comcast Center, Cole was converted to a field for intramural and club sports.
Supposedly, the Testudo statue here has his head turned because he's looking directly at the Administration Building opposite McKeldin library, "keeping an eye on" the administration.
Sit on "The Wall", the steep slope of student seating, and bring something to help distract opposing foul shooters. Or, you know, use your arms. Go Terps!
Craving something different? Get the chicken parm. Next to the gryo and their amazeballs fries (The next best thing to old bay on your fries is their seasoning), it's the best thing on the menu!
Stamp is named for Adele H. Stamp, UMCP's "dean of women" from 1920-1966. Many student orgs are here, and Stamp sees more than 19k visitors/day! You can get some grub, books, or catch a show at Hoff.
Take a break from studying Friday afternoon at 1 to see Erasable, Inc., one of UMD's oldest student groups, perform here. It's one of the great McKeldin rituals, like rubbing Testudo's nose for luck! 자세히 보기
In August of 2011, a 5.8 earthquake hit DC. There was a significant amount of damage to McKeldin's 8 floors of books, but just over 24 hours later the staff had all the books ready to be sorted! 자세히 보기

This honors Jim Henson, perhaps the most famous Maryland Alumni to "build" a degree, combining Home-Ec classes with Art and Drama to form "Puppetry". His other creations are pretty cool too ;) 자세히 보기
Nearly an urban legend by now: Various developers have tried (and failed) to buy the deeds to the Knox boxes to build new housing, but like the roaches living in them, these can't seem to be killed.
Opened in '01, CSPAC was named for Clarice Smith (duh), member of the Art Department from 1980-87, after getting a BA at UMCP! Student tickets to shows are a flat $10, or FREE the Monday beforehand. 자세히 보기
Fun fact: In 2003, this Chipotle was the highest grossing in the US, due to efficient staff & low prices. Two new Chipotle locations nearby ended its reign, but we learned turtles love burritos!
They deliver, but if you make it to the shop, you can pretty much get your sandwich in under 3 minutes. "So fast, you'll freak", indeed...
For many Math & Eng Students, THIS is the cause of the Freshman 15, where many tacos are devoured with the hope of fueling understanding. Bless us, Taco God, for the heartburn we are about to receive!

While not all of the Engineering classes are offered in this building, the Engineering Library is here, as is the space for most of the student groups (IEEE, Tau Beta Pi, and other honors societies).

Renovated in 2009, Tawes houses UMTV and Tawes Theatre, which hosted the Drama School's productions until Clarice Smith opened. Now, student groups use it for their performances.
If you've got spare time in your schedule and are looking for something fun, you can take bowling classes offered by the Kinesiology department! Great thing to do your last semester. 자세히 보기

Get a job here, then get hired by Google. It's happened more often than you think...
When I lived on South Campus I loved studying here with other Engineers; spacious classrooms with power outlets, and most importantly.. WHITEBOARDS. Just had to get a business major to let us in...
Originally called the South Campus Surge Building (or "The Surge Building"), this building was renovated in the early 2000s and renamed Susquehanna Hall. It's now used for various English classes.

Tear your ACL on the new turf! So cool, 3 Terp QBs and a Linebacker are doing it!
Just because College Park may not be a farming university anymore doesn't mean the roots aren't still there. The Ice Cream, made from milk from the cows on campus, is the best example of it.
