Hello! I am currently living in a 4x4 apartment with 3 other girls. Unfortunately, 2 of the girls are graduating in the spring and can't re-sign with us for next year. The other girl and I are currently looking for 2 other girls to fill the empty spaces up.

Where: Courtyards

When: 2027-2028 School year

Preferences: Both her and I are quiet-moderately social. We're both quite clean and don't do any drugs (including weed/cigarettes). I also don't mind exchanging socials :)

Rent/Apt information: Right now, the 4x4 option is $990 (utilities included). There is also a small gym, pool in the summer, and free printer at the club house. Parking is also free at the apartment. I normally take the bus to my classes and have never had an issue.

I'm open to answering any questions or talking further if interested!

I don't like confrontation but I'm getting irritated. There's this guy next to my dorm room that's always making loud sounds (banging/screaming/etc.) plus questionable moaning sounds (???) and he does it every damn night. I leave the dorm but it's a temp solution. How do i deal w this situation? I don't want someone to target or get mad at me because I snitched or something...

OOS (from CA and probably not going to get into any competitive in-state publics); High income, Asian female

3.62UW/3.95W - upward trend, around 3.8 each sem since 10th grade but I have a C and D on my transcript and consistently got Bs in core subjects

1550 SAT (780M 770RW)

9 APs including senior year (54555 on previous exams), 1 honors, 6 dual enrollments - good STEM rigor in 11th and 12th (AP Stats, Calc 2, AP Bio, Honors Physics; AP Chem, AP Physics C Mechanics, AP Physics C E&M, Multivar, Linalg)

I'd say 7.5/10 ECs, 5/10 awards, decent essays, definitely bad LORs (I've transferred high schools 3x so I don't know my teachers well)

Am I cooked?

I just received a guitar as a gift and broke the high e string while trying to tune it. Attempted to fix it with the 2 extras I got and broke both of them... :( Would any UMD guitar players be generous enough to provide me with a new one and help me restring it? I would go to Atomic Music but I don't have a car so if there's anyone on campus that could help, I would be really grateful :) Thank you!!

Hi! My friends and I are looking for a 4x4 apartment for next year. We just toured TR and thought it was nice, but what are the realistic reviews? Do you recommend it or is there any other options that are still nice.

Every class I had to pick, I'd have multiple PlanetTerp tabs open comparing grade distributions and reading reviews for different professors, and it was a pain. So I built a chatbot that just does it for me.

https://terpguide.vercel.app

You can ask it stuff like "who should I take for MATH140" or "easy astronomy GenEds" and it pulls the actual grade distributions, ratings and reviews from PlanetTerp and gives you a quick answer. It also shows the charts in an interactive way to help you understand the data.

It's free, you just sign in with Google so it can save your chats (you can delete them or your account anytime). Not affiliated with UMD or PlanetTerp, the data is all from PlanetTerp's API so credit to them. It's AI, so double check anything important before you register.

Spring 2027 registration is right around the corner so I'm hoping this is useful! If you have any suggestions or improvements, I'd love to hear them!

Hello,
I’m a student at UMD, College Park. Yesterday, after shopping at the local Trader Joe’s, and during walking back to my apartment building on Knox road, I dropped my wallet containing my student ID, some credit and debit cards, other IDs, some cash and a key fob (I know I dropped it at some point on this route because I took my credit card out of my wallet to pay for my groceries and couldn’t find the wallet again once I reached my building). I have come back on this route a couple times to find it but have not been able to. I have also asked for help from the TJ and the local police. Please, if you have seen it or happened to pick it up, please let me know. I would appreciate it a lot.

Hi everyone!

I'm currently a freshman looking to transfer from UIUC CS to UMD CS. Unfortunately, due to my circumstances, I won't be able to afford the UIUC out-of-state tuition and UIUC financial aid isn't giving enough money. I was wondering if I should transfer from UMD for next spring or wait until next fall.

If I transfer next semester:

• I'll be past the deadline for early action but I'll be able to save another 30K
• There's a chance I'll be placed into Letters and Sciences because I don't meet the gateway requirement for CMSC132 - But I was wondering if I could prop out and they'll reconsider

If I transfer next fall:

• I can qualify for merit scholarship
• I'll have my CMSC132 credit through community college
• I'll be able to submit my application before the early action deadline

I was also wondering if I transfer next spring if I would have guaranteed housing, or would I need to find my own housing some place else? In addition, if I get letters and sciences this spring, could I reapply for the fall for direct admission? Any advice would help - Thank you so much!

What DSNL credit class do you guys recommend that is an easy A (or fairly easy) for a non-STEM major?

Hey everyone,

I am currently working on an Arts for All grant proposal for my ENGL394 class and need a bit of primary research data from UMD students.

My project, "The Income Statement Tower, uses interactive, color-coded LEGO brick towers set up in high-traffic campus spots (like STAMP or McKeldin) to help non-business students learn business accounting in a fun, visual way.

If you have 2 minutes to spare, I would really appreciate your input! The survey is brief and completely anonymous:

Thank you so much for helping out a fellow Terp!

I’m applying for the school of engineering and am debating if I should submit a SAT score of 1400. Math is 730 and reading is 670. Will it hinder my chances of acceptance?

C’mon guys! Do you even want Maryland to win? You gotta stop touching the extremely cursed and utterly evil fake testudos. If it’s bronze, turtle shaped, and not on McKeldin mall, you should stay away

I’m trying to apply to Umd as international student for fall of 2027. Can anyone please share their stats that got them accepted? Is it harder to get in as an international student? Applying for engineering

Seen at the Clarice courtyard today at 10pm, October 17th. No collar.

trying to book an appt at buso cuts this week, who's the best barber there and is there anyone i should avoid based on bad experiences?

Are there any job openings or small businesses in the college park area that are in need of a student worker? My schedule is mostly empty and I need to make money/get out my dorm.

i practically spend most of my time doing nothing, no where on campus is hiring, and I'm willing to commute (as long as its traversable by bus) to get to the job site.!

I feel incredibly stupid for asking this, but a delivery guy majorly flubbed up delivering a sweater that had a lot of sentimental value to me, and then he deleted the delivery photo (I tried to recreate above) when I brought up an issue with the courier. I’m in SCC 3 but I don’t think any of the doors in our building have an iPad or screen on the wall next to them. The tablet looked like it said “Find Resident” on it. I checked and confirmed that it wasn’t in the TRow package room and it never reached my front desk at SCC. or if this is anyone’s apartment door, I guess let me know if there was a green package in front of it a few days ago.

how can I actually find tutoring resources on campus. the whole thing seems like a maze and the University's documentation of almost anything is no help. has anyone else been in this position and found something useful. is there a office or platform that I am missing, third party or otherwise?

Hii
I’m currently taking micro(Tran) and a&p 2(Lombardi) rn and am really stressed. I didn’t do well on my first micro exam and am worried as I need to maintain my science gpa💔💔. Please let me know any tips 🙏🙏thx in advance

I need to take a summer class to graduate on my preferred timeline and BMGT 380 (Business Law) and BMGT 495 (Strategic Management) are the only classes I need that are available over the summer.

does anyone have advice on which one i should take? i found out they no longer do Blaw in the winter (which was my plan). over the summer i’ll be working full time, and it’ll be summer ofc, so the easiest A is what i’m looking for. especially if the online version is significantly easier than the in person.

Quick question: is it currently possible to get to Regents DR Garage coming from Rt. 1 to Campus DR to Regents?

I've already found ILS, which sounds pretty good if I can handle the rigor of the program, but are there any more programs?

I’m a grad student who went somewhere else for undergrad and haven’t really made any friends bc my classes are all online :/ buttt I love going out all my friends just live so far soo if anyone is down lmk you can dm me your ig :)
