#105 Best Colleges in America
Junior : During this time of online learning, I definitely miss UMD a lot. As a junior who was accepted into mechanical engineering after spending a year undecided (College of Letters & Sciences), choosing to stay at UMD was one of the best decisions I ever made. Our campus is always buzzing with people and activities year-round, and there are clubs for literally any interest group you can think of. Despite campus being fairly large, it's very easy to get around and I really don't mind walking 15 minutes to my classes, it's usually less if you live directly on campus and depending on your major/where your classes are generally held.
One piece of advice I would give specifically about transferring into Engineering is to try to take engineering classes even as an undecided major. While it's possible to graduate on time after transferring, it's a lot more work when you're taking 4 technical classes at once. Overall I love UMD and its programs though and I would highly recommend it!
