CP is just a couple of blocks really - Takoma Park is nice (also small) and nearby) But the BIG ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM is, of course WASHINGTON DC - which is a phenomenal college town with thousands and thousands of students = Georgetown, Catholic, GWU, AU, etc. etc. To tell you the truth, as a local, I’ve always considered MD to be more or less in DC, even though “College Park” is the name of the town.

You could spend all weekend, every weekend, for four years in DC and not exhaust the music (all genres), theatre (over 60 theatres) festivals, museums, free events, monuments, bike trails, zoo, restaurants, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

Don’t worry, mate! You will not be bored unless you are excessively passive. Take the metro or make friends with someone who has a car. With a car, you can go hiking in the mountains, sailing on the Bay, or up to the Inner Harbor (thousands and thosands more college students in the Baltimore area).
