Half of Lot 1 is closed for construction as of the time of this post, so I just have to ask, what are we doing here? Why did I pay full price for a lot 1 parking permit if half of it is closed and I'm just gonna have to go and park at lot 4? Kind of messed up, and like yeah sure lot 1 is usually crowded the first week of classes, but last year it was just crowded, it wasn't full to the brim.

If they're gonna close half of lot 1 I should get half of my money back.

Like genuinely what compels people to walk in a bike lane when there’s a sidewalk 2 steps to the side? I can kind of forgive the people who do it around lot 1 but even then at least check behind you so people don’t have to weave around you.

First volunteer for the community garden by the Eppley center, they meet Mondays from 3 to 4, Thursday from 3 to 5 and Saturdays from 9-10am. Pick fruits, vegetables and learn all about gardening. The food is donated to the pantry on campus, think they pick 1500lbs of food this summer.

Take a yoga, cycling, Pilates and many other classes. I am gonna be teaching a yoga class Saturday at 11:30 starting in a couple weeks, super excited.

Also there is a the ParkRun 5k club meets just north of campus at 9am Saturdays off the Paint Branch Trail

Also all the sports and clubs, I know nothing about....

Anyone got any recommendations?

If you are someone who was denied transfer into an engineering program, appealed, and got in, what did you talk about in your appeal letter, and what was your reason for needing to appeal? I was held back by my undiagnosed neurological disorder in my first year and got Cs in both Calc2 and Phys161. I earned an A in Calc2 on a retake, and now that I have accommodations this semester, I hope to earn an A in Phys161. Also, my GPA has always been 3.0 or higher. Any advice greatly helps!

I’m in the Atlantic building and i’m trying to find room 1113 for a class i have later today, but i can’t find it on the floor map that’s in the hallway. Which floor is room 1113 at?

Eduroam isn’t working is anyone else having the same issue? How’d you fix it??? 🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩

I just started at UMD as a freshmen majoring in accounting and I’m freaking out. It’s so hard and I have no friends and it’s just so different. I keep asking myself if I’m making the right choice. I don’t know. Please, does it get better? I’m so homesick and I genuinely am gonna cry myself to sleep everyday. Please help or give some advice. Should I switch my major into healthcare?

Did everything according to the instructions here and still cannot connect.

How long does it usually take for transfercredit@umd.edu to respond?

I completed my Gen Ed requirements at UMBC before transferring to UMD, and UMBC already sent UMD proof that I completed them (sent proof to transfercredit@umd.edu).

However, my UMD degree audit still shows that I haven’t completed my Gen Ed requirements. I already emailed them about it a few weeks ago, but I’m wondering how long they usually take to respond or fix something like this.

Hey yall, Im going into my freshman year and I'm just wondering what the most important pages are for me to keep track of. For example, is the directory useful at all? What is the main page that I will be using for all of the payments and scholarships and courses etc?

Sorry if it seems like an odd question; maybe it will be answered in Orientation. I start spring!

If you got an A/A+ pls let me know how you did it in detail (I would be really glad if you could also include your background in math). If you didn't get an A, what do you think is the best way to approach the class. I really want an A and am willing to have no life for it. Thank you so much!

Hey folks, random post here, I just would like to get a little bit of more info about the university.

How is it like for international students? I am looking to do an exchange at Maryland University. I study Law and Economics (double bachelor)

Keen to hear anyone’s thoughts

Just wanted to do my civic duty and put out there that if you see any emails not directly from the school about job opportunities or false news warnings not to click the link at the bottom of the email because it is most likely a phishing scam. I would hate for any new students, or older ones, to fall for it and get your information stolen. This email was from someone named “Griffith Watcher”

Hi I have a friend who doesn’t go to umd but lives close by, I’m wondering if there is a way to bring them into the student section for football or basketball games. Is there a way around showing your student id.

sorry if this sounds very dumb, but I was wondering if my lab instructor posted that ”No laboratory sessions will be held during the week of August 31st–September 4th” I do not have to attend the session today even if work is due Friday?

Can anyone speak on how the class was? Did they like it / find it useful if I'm interested in HPC? Was it C++ heavy?

She's not on PlanetTerp, but her Rate My Prof ratings seem to be okay.

Does anyone know how Econ330 is with her (attendance, group assignments, exam format, etc.)?

Living at The Varsity this year and might meander on down for a few tuesdays. Is it a good time!?

I just changed my major to journalism, but I’m still enrolled in my psych math course. I know I don’t have to take Math120 for the journalism major, so would I be able to drop it and not face repercussions from BSOS as my major change request is still pending until I meet with an advisor?
