School Spirit
"Go Terps!" is the rallying cry for students and alumni alike at Maryland. School spirit isn't hard to find here. Maryland apparel is everywhere and never seems to go out of fashion. The people who go here harbor a deep love for the school, even if their own experience ends with a delay in credits or a monotonous social life. There's a big sense of pride wherever you go.
Getting Tickets
Maryland is one of the few D-I universities left that doesn't charge students for tickets to any of the sporting events. While the lottery process is a bit of a crapshoot, you can build up points each season by attending more games. Football is definitely the most popular sport to attend. When the weather's nice and students can spend all day tailgating, the sea of red is a sight to behold.
Best Place to Take a Walk
South Campus is gorgeous and lined with trees, making it perfectly picturesque in the fall and spring.
Did You Know?
The most popular tailgate parties are in Lot 11 next to the View.
