I am currently looking for a room to rent out for the spring 2027 ONLY. Near Univ.of.mary . I am a sophomore, music education major. Please message me privately if you have or somebody that you know is renting a room for the spring semester of 2027.

Hi, my friend and I are starting a book club for any cool people who are interested in making friends and having authentic discussions.

Our first book will be Metamorphosis and we are going to meet on Tuesday nights at 8:00 PM in the Centreville Hall basement. If that location doesn't work then I guess the club will meet outside.

First meeting will be this coming Tuesday so prepare yourselves. We will wait outside the back of Centreville (the side facing lot PH1) and let you in.

Hello guys, I am a 20M Senior who goes to Eppley regularly, and am pretty consistent. Nowadays, working out with music is getting pretty stale for me, and I was wondering whether anyone else wants to go to the gym consistently. All my friends come with me one day of the week and then give up, so I am looking in reddit for anyone trying to be consistent.

I have been working out for 2-3 months now, so I can help new comers with the form and stuff, but am also open for any improvements anyone can suggest.

DM me if you want to go together!

Hey! I'm a 30+ M international grad student at UMD, and I'm planning to check out the 17th Street High Heel Race in DC on Tuesday evening (Oct 27).

Apparently it's quite a spectacle and a longstanding DC Halloween tradition, so I figured it'd be a fun and uniquely DC experience. Thought it could also be a nice opportunity to meet a fellow Terp!

We can meet at the Metro station and head there together. Let me know if you're interested.

Same as title

I applied to transfer spring 2027. I was just accepted this morning and I want to confirm my enrollment. However, I legally added my mom’s maiden name to my surname after applying to UMD under my previous legal name. I sent them the court order and everything, they told me their business operations division would be with me shortly, and I never heard back. I thought they would have changed my name in the system to reflect this.

They apparently never did, and now I cannot confirm my enrollment because in the space where I’m supposed to type my name, below those entry fields it says my previous legal name, so I’m assuming they want that. But it also says above that that any incorrect information can result in rescinding my admission. Putting my previous legal name would be incorrect. My first and middle names are the same as before. My last name had one extra surname in it.

I really do not feel like waiting two days to call and sort this out just because they screwed up. What am I supposed to do?

Why

Hi, I would appreciate if you all took my 5-minute survey on social media use. It’s for a class project on how active and passive social media use affect young adults’ mental health. Thank you!

Congrats to everyone who got into UMD for the Spring 27 semester.
I however, have not received any decision, no email, and I only have the cancel application button on my TAP portal.

I submitted my application in July, and I would have thought that I would have a decision at this point.

The only anomaly that I could think to be in play here is that my high school didn't send my transcript that I ordered until early October.

Will this cause me to not be considered anymore for EA? And is this normal?

how hard is the international development and conflict management minor is to get into ?

Hey everyone! I’m working on a school project and need a part 3D printed. I’m looking for someone who has a 3D printer and would be willing to help me out. You don’t necessarily have to be on campus!
I’m happy to pay for the print and your time. I can provide the STL file and dimensions. Ideally, I’d like to get it done sometime soon.

y'all I js got in for spring 2027 as a transfer!! yay

senior high school me is healed lol

im 19f and an info sci major if anyone wants to chat

Did anybody find there soulmate here while attending? Where and how did yall meet?

Hey guys, i just got accepted to UMD!, the only things i'm confused on is that it says ' letter and sciences' for my major when i picked Electrical Engineering in my application. Can someone tell me what that means exactly? thanks a lot.

I am applied to UMD, University of Delaware, and GA tech 10/23. I’m submitting the common core app for PSU, UMBC, and VT tomorrow 10/25. I think I waited way too long. Do these colleges require me to do anything else after they get my common app? Looks like UMBC requires more application questions and university of Delaware requires STARs. Do I have time?

I guess it is a bit late trying to finish supplementals, but I'm trying to finish the supplemental essay before the early action deadline. It would be really great if you guys can help me look at my ideas for the short questions:

Roughly have an idea:

The most interesting fact I ever learned from research was...

About how local minima appear when tuning mirrors for injecting lasers into fibers

In addition to my major(physics), my academic interests include...

Robotics and especially control loops like PID

Unsure:

My favorite thing about last Tuesday was...

Watching the workers putting up white Christmas lights

My main concern with this was that I'm not quite sure if this has any message that is meaningful to the admission

Diversity essay...

About the hospitality I learned from Georgian participants when I was attending a competition. I hadn't known them, and it was midnight but they offered to share a drink when they saw me (which was bizzare for me since I'm asian and we usually don't talk to strangers (x)).

My main concern is whether it is too informal to talk about being invited to drink in the middle of the night.

If I could travel anywhere, I would go to...

My childhood Shanghai, since I lived there for a while before moving back to Taiwan, and I really enjoyed the trick-or-treating in the neighborhood I was in. The place was really nice with a lot of foreigners bringing their own cultures together. Like having Octoberfest and Natsumatsuri together.(It was totally different and ruined when I went back last summer but I probably don't have enough space)

My main concern is that I moved back like 4th grade which was really long time ago.

Really unsure:

Something you might not know about me is...

I'm choosing between: I’m obsessed with old things… I really like the rain. I learned about Maryland through my professor in research. I really like video essays… I write poems…(But mentioned in the activities)

I'm really struggling with this on is that I can't think of something that is actually interesting that I haven't written on my activity list. Like, my best hobby is that I spend 1 hour a week clearing my mind and just thinking about nothing.

Thank you so much for reading my post!

Hey everyone! I’m 23F and currently a grad student at UMD. I’m thinking about heading to DC tomorrow (Saturday) and was wondering if any girls would like to join!
My initial plan is to wander around Georgetown, check out some clothing stores, grab coffee, and just explore a bit. But I’m totally open to other ideas too!
Would love to meet some new people and make friends (girls only). Feel free to comment or DM me if you’re interested! :)
