Not The College Park I Knew

I remember the VOO. I’m from MD and only took a class one summer (was admitted, but went OOS), but it was a go to bar when I was home on breaks. Both my parents graduated in the 50s, so I grew up going to football games before Byrd had an upper deck.

I will agree that MD-CP has improved tremendously in the past 30 years. In the 70s if you were a NMCS you had an automatic admit and a waived application fee, plus they accepted almost any in-state resident that had a pulse. The downside was there was no housing if you lived within 30 miles from campus, unless you were a jock or in the honors program.
