Enjoying the prestigious reputation as one of only four Public Ivy colleges in the Mid-Atlantic region, the University of Maryland is the state’s flagship university and one of the finest academic institutions in the nation. The campus and the surrounding area offer a multitude of great ways to spend any time not spent studying or working: TerpZone is a unique twist on the student lounge, offering big-screen TVs video games, pool tables, bowling, and more in an environment that resembles a cozy finished basement. Basketball games at the Xfinity Center are always a blast, and afterward you can meet up with some friends at Bentley’s for a drink or head to any of the killer restaurants along Route 1 on the east side of campus. Being just a few minutes outside of Washington, D.C., you can easily pop into the nation’s capital and spend an afternoon or a weekend checking out the museums, shopping, and nightlife. Metro service is available from the College Park station a few blocks from campus, making it especially easy to get around and visit D.C. even without a personal vehicle. Best of all, apartments near campus tend to be quite affordable, especially near the northeast corner around Paint Branch Stream Valley Park.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
