What students say about University of Maryland


Likes

  • I believe that the curriculum is highly dependent on the professor, therefore, it is important to read professor reviews before enrolling in classes.
  • Networking is a must in the US, and career fairs are a good opportunity for it.
  • The campus life is quite good; there are plenty of extracurricular activities to choose from. These activities range from trekking to singing and whatnot.
  • There are some facilities available for graduate students, but they are scarce. Therefore, most grad students stay off-campus in private properties, which are abundant and easy to commute from.
  • Almost all of the professors work in industry and have relevant experience to teach the subjects.
  • If you need to learn a lot and grow to great heights, UMD is the best place.

Dislike

  • The tuition fees for Masters in Software Engineering are already quite low (USD 30K). The department does not offer any scholarships.
  • Room and board for freshman dorms is very expensive, considering the poor quality of both the dorms and the food in the cafeteria halls

I chose this university as this university is a public Ivy League school and is well reputed, plus the course it offered was among the top 10 schools in the USA. As stated earlier the program was a perfect blend of technical and non-technical subjects, something that I was looking for.

Dislikes:

  • Lots of students, so sometimes that becomes an issue, teacher to student ratio is not so high, good accomodation is available but it's limited so one has to be proactive .

Overall experience I would say has been great so far. Right from the moment I came here it has been a smooth ride. I enjoyed the courses I chose, I made good friends. Also to mention, there is a huge fitness centre in the university so that’s helpful as well.

5.3 /10

Dislikes:

  • High cost of living, since the campus is near Washington DC. Diversity is less, more than 60% of students are Indian so that is problematic. null

My overall experience has been delightful. Academics is good, campus is great, college life is fun. It is a good experience for me so far.

Dislikes:

  • I don't dislike anything in particular about my college, but the one thing that could use some improvement is the construction that takes place around campus. There's always some kind of construction going on around campus which can get annoying at times. null

My college experience has been amazing so far! I have made a ton of friends, and I have had a lot of fun in the 5 months that I have been here. I have also learned a lot of stuff and successfully applied them in various fields.

7.8 /10

Dislikes:

  • The courses can be a little more technical and cover more advanced concepts like Cloud Computing and System Design, Pipeline Management. Adding these topics in their courses will help the students to actually gain skills that are more relevant to their actual work once if their domain is Data oriented. However, with the MIM Program at iSchool where I studied, I had the flexibility to easily learn these concepts from other schools like the prestine Iribe School for CS. null

The overall experience was very good for me and my peers as all of us had assistantships with 100% tuition remission. This helped me to complete my Master's degree in just 20,000 USD and I received a stipend of 10,000 USD per semester.

7.0 /10

Dislikes:

  • The diversity in some of the programs is quite less. There are many South Asian students in Engineering programs so does not feel like an international program. The nearby areas like Baltimore are notorious for a high crime rate so a precautions are needed if you are going there. null

My overall experience for UMD has been very pleasant, I am able to find some balance in the work-life balance and I am positive that this degree from UMD would be life-changing for me. The academics are very rigorous but there are plenty of resources to support your endeavor.

Dislikes:

  • We get Too many assignments but they might be common in all universities. Some faculties have a very strict grading system. So, it is not very easy to score good. Some courses are competitive to go get into and charge high fees. Mine is not like that .

Everything is super amazing in terms of university. Love all the events, especially the football and soccer games which are a huge thing here in USA.
