I wonder what is bringing these questions about the area surrounding the U of MD? I have seen a couple other similar comments.

I am a parent of a rising hs senior. We have lived in the Maryland suburbs of the DC area for 8 years, so we are quite familiar with most communities in the DC area. I am a small business owner and have several clients in the College Park area, so I am there frequentlly. I see nothing wrong with College Park. My son and I just visited the campus this week.

What is it in particular you question about the the area?

I thought the campus itself looked a little unkept compared to others that we have visited, but as far as the surrounding community, it doesn’t seem to be a negative to me. But, perhaps I am overlooking something that is important to you.
