Im actually not exactly set on Physics or Engineering yet, so I guess Ill look into it.

Engineering is just applied physics, only we have specific concentrations (Aero, Mech, Chem, Civil, Nuclear). As for applied physics, why anyone would major in that beats me. What is applied physics? I guess it means you know a little of everything and a whole lot of nothing because applied physics is not the same cut as an engineer who is specific to an area. And guess what, research engineers study the physics of problems. It's just a different area of focus.

Eh, I guess I am just cranky about too many people around this place thinking all engineers do is plug away into formula and they don't know what their doing physically...:uhh: Don't listen to that load of BS.

And another thing, don't fall into that trap that I hear people too often saying: "Oh, its not important if we don't know it well, they will teach you when you get a job"...those are the same people who get B's and C's.

WRONG, they will expect you to have a strong foundation in what you learned. There not going to hold your hand and teach you what you should already know, so make sure you pay attention from day 1. They will help you out at work, but they are not there to teach you!

Trust me when I tell you this, your sucess is going to depend on how well you master those concepts from your freshman courses. I've seen lots and lots of people struggle because they have weak foundations due to classes from freshman year. This bites a lot of people in the ass later on. What I did to prevent this was review all the material over the summer break. By review, I mean reread every chapter and solve every problem in the back of the book. If you do that after your freshman year your going to be fine. It's the people that don't review on their own time that always struggle when the summer ends. Study habbits are super important.

So bassically, all the buildings are identical except for the engineering buildings?

Good thing that the buildings look good in the first place... How many "modern" buildings (such as the first picture, the new engineering thing) are there?

EDIT: Dude, is the sky always that clear? O_O

Fantastic University. Looks really great. But you have an armoury?...must be an American thing. :)
 
  • #44
Don't worry, modern is comming! And you will go wow.

The sky has been nice the last two days which is why I ran out to take pics.

Fantastic University. Looks really great. But you have an armoury?...must be an American thing. :)

The school is 150 years old.

Here is a small farm we have on campus for the avian and animal sciences. Reminds me of moonbear every time I walk by because my parking lot is right across from it. There are usually horses, sheep, and chickens.

The big building behind it are dorms.

My dad got his medical degree at the University of Maryland. He had fond memories. I remember visiting the campus as a kid. It is a beautiful campus.

That's awesome.

So what's your general opinion of U Maryland? You're instate, right? Instate tuition is so much better than OOS :(

<debiasing> UMd's Physics program is ranked way better than its Engg programs. I think EE is the only engg program that's also ranked in the top 20.

I don't know what your looking for specifically, search the website if you want to. www.umd.edu

If I were you though, I would stay in Europe. You have all the better looking women.

It looks good!
