University of Maryland-College Park Campus Life

Dining halls have an incredible variety of food that is delicious. There's also many cafes all over campus and many restaurants in the student union like panda express and Maryland dairy (really good ice cream).

The food is not nutritious and gets old pretty quickly.

You will probably end up eating the same three things every day.

There is a wide selection of food in the diners, with a good salad bar. The anytime dining plan allows you to eat however much food you want, at anytime the diners are open (usually til midnight, 10-10 on weekends).

Lots of options

The unlimited dining offered is a blessing! Dining hall sometimes offers "unique" foods every day which is nice. On important game days, there is a variety of different foods. Sometimes the regular food gets repetitive.

I will admit, while there is a wide variety of food on campus, it can get old and annoying but the food is good!

I cannot speak to the food or dining on campus as I am not currently enrolled in a dining plan because I live off campus.

I also don't personally know if the food and dining is good; however, I have read reviews of the restaurants around it, and for the most part, they were fantastic reviews.

You can go in an eat whenever you want but you can't take food out. The selection is not very wide and the staff can be a bit creepy at times

There's many sororities and fraternities on campus.

Greeks live on Greek Row housing

They are very nice and wild.

very strong greek life on campus. something for everyone!

It isn't huge here. I've seen an exhibit but I never really see anyone walking around wearing jackets. Also, no one will down you if you aren't a part of Greek Life. From what I've heard people only join because it makes it easier to get into Greek Parties.

About 15% of students at UMD are involved in Greek Life. Its not for everyone, but if you're thinking about joining, definitely try to rush. It's a lot of fun. Its a great way to make the big school feel smaller and its a great way to meet people.

Greek life is big at UMD but a majority of the students are still not involved in fraternities, so whether you participate or not, youâ??ll still find your own friends and activities on campus. What is so great about the Greek system at UMD is that they have several events that are open to everyone, not just members of Greek life. They hold several charity events that all students can participate in that are both fun and impactful. The Greek system raises hundreds of thousands of dollars each year for various charities, and they truly emphasize the idea of brotherhood and sisterhood. The Greek system also emphasizes a strict no hazing policy at UMD, so you donâ??t have to be afraid of being forced to streak around campus during your pledging. I personally am planning on rushing Greek life next semester, but even if I did not, I know I would be perfectly happy on campus without it as well.

The university has a very active Greek life, for those who want to be in it. For those who don't, it's not that big a part of the overall campus, so it's not like you have to be in it.

Greek Life is a big part of Maryland life for those who are involved. Unlike many other schools, our Greek Life is very safe and courteous towards other groups. There is a group for almost every type of people, from multicultural people to educational schools, to service groups. Greek life is also good at giving back to the community and often have events to raise money.

UMD has a pretty big Greek scene, but it's not pushed in your face overwhelmingly if you aren't a part of Greek life.
