UMd. dubbed one of the “ugliest” college campuses

December 6, 2007

If you attended the University of Maryland at College Park, as I did, you might be used to defending your alma mater to outsiders after gameday riots or the like.

But this is a new one to me: the blog Campus Squeeze has listed UMd. as No. 20 on the Top 20 Ugliest Colleges in the USA (hey, at least we’re better than Rutgers, listed as No. 19).

Drew University in New Jersey also made the list at No. 11, NC State is No. 7 and the No. 1 “most ugly” college: Drexel University in Philadelphia.

I always thought Maryland’s campus - while not in the best of neighborhoods - was beautiful. Anyone feel its position on this list is justified?

Which Maryland campuses are the nicest? The least attractive?

    I don’t believe that rank is justified at all. The campus is beautiful! Granted, the surrounding town of College Park is nothing to brag about, but it shouldn’t catapult U.Md. onto a list of the ugliest campuses in the nation!

    I agree with Brad. Why should Maryland be penalized for its surrounding areas? Maybe if they had the picture posted on this blog instead of the one of Comcast Center, which is on the edge of campus, the writer would see what a beautiful campus we have!

Got something to say?
