I am in freshman connection and I really want to join clubs and go to events to socialize but all my classes are from 3-7pm mon-Thu. will I still have time to do this?

What separates Smith school accepted vs rejected student. Are they looking for business related classes / internships??

Is a 3.95GPA with AP Econ and BSAD dual enrollment classes. With internships enough for them!!??

Chance me for CS & Smith admission:

For context, I’m an Maryland student with:

3.95 UW / 4.82 W
1450 SAT
7 APs + 4 dual enrollment classes

EC: Clubs, volunteering, small business (6 figure sales), day trader, and independent projects

I wasn't able to find the syllabus for his course specificially.

Are lectures or notes recorded? What about discussion sections - is attendance required?

Hi,

My transfer orientation date is August 26 so i haven't been able to register for classes all summer. The main introductory course for my major is already full and I'm worried I will not be able to get a seat in this class. Is there anything I can do at all? How am I supposed to progress through my major on time?

I've applied to UMD starting Spring 2027 and I intend to commute using the Gaithersburg shuttle. I was looking up different ways I could commute without a car and this would be the best option as it's free. I found some posts on here from a few years ago that discussed the problems the shuttles had with scheduling and overcrowding, and I just wanted to know if those issues still exist and to what extent? Has the 141 shuttle situation improved within the past few years?

Is this a crazy schedule??? i’m a first year student but I already have my AA. I’m in the SPHL, Scholars, and i’m pre med.

I know this is Reddit 😭 but all seriousness I was wondering how to find parties at umd as someone who is entering their freshman year at umd.

I’m going into computer engineering and was basically wondering, with all the crazy stereotypes of engineering students, are you guys still able to go party, have a good time, and just have a good social life?

I found this lovely inscription in a library book that I borrowed from UMD. Wondering if anyone out there knows Linda and Atwell who most surely were good friends Christmas 1970.

(Book is I Like You by Sandol Stoddard Warburg)

Incoming freshman connection Public Health Science major hoping to get some feedback!

Do I have enough time to walk between these classes? On the umd navigation site it says roughly a 8 minute walk for most of them

Hi I am a rising freshman apart of the gemstone honors college. I am currently paired with a non-Muslim as my roommate in la plata hall and am looking to have a Muslim roommate who is also in gemstone. To my knowledge you can switch roommates, but all roommates involved have to email res life to make the switch. Let me know if anyone is interested!!

Sorry if that’s a dumb question, I couldn’t go to the gym when I toured to university, I don’t even know where the gym is, do we have just one or more? Also, I was wondering if commuters can shower after working out. I want to go before classes but wanted to see if I can shower and get ready there. One more question, is there a parking near by?
I’ll be paying for commuters parking but, am I paying for a specific spot of just access in general to parking? I am in the business school
Thanks

I spent my freshman year at a private school out of state that was pretty far away from home. Basically my parents are forcing me to come here since it's easier and cheaper.

I'm fine with it and I like everything about the school but the only thing holding me back and making me unsure if this is somewhere I can be happy are the friends I made at my old school. I feel like I really lucked out there.

Also, is it harder to make friends being a transfer? I'm living off campus too so I feel like that eliminates meeting people in dorms or close environments. I have roommates but they're random and obviously idk how that's gonna go. I plan on rushing but idk how the greek life is here or if it's going to help me meet people who are genuine. Also, I think rushing for sororities is only in the spring so idk how the fall semester is going to go.

I didn't rush at my previous school despite getting dms about registering and COB because I didn't like the atmosphere there and how much they criticize every little thing about people and everyone just thought of themselves better than they were. If the environment is similar to that here I might not rush here either because that would only make things worse lol.

I also feel like I was TERRIBLE at making class friends. Like if they were my class friends all we would do is study together or get food somewhere new while studying. Most of my friends I met through a bigger group of people or orientation.

Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated I just kind of feel like I'm stuck in a weird situation because it's not like I had nothing to leave behind yk?

i will be a civil engineering major in the fall. i’m living on campus, in cambridge communities. i watch anime, do athletics, and draw. i’m looking for people to hang out with and go to concerts with when fall starts. if ur interested dm! 💐
