Located in Adelphi, Maryland, approximately 8 miles northeast of Washington, D.C., the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) occupies a 1,340-acre suburban campus characterized by Georgian-style architecture and extensive green spaces. Founded in 1856 as the Maryland Agricultural College, UMCP now serves as the flagship institution of the University System of Maryland and operates a selective admission process. The university offers comprehensive academic programs across 12 colleges, with particular strengths in engineering, computer science, business, and journalism through its Philip Merrill College of Journalism. Most first-year students reside in on-campus housing within one of the university's distinct residential communities, and UMCP competes in NCAA Division I athletics as the Maryland Terrapins, participating in the Big Ten Conference.
