Studying Abroad as a Freshman

I submitted an application to study abroad in Ecuador as part of my scholars program. It’s during winter 2025. However, I’m still a freshman, so do you think it’s better to wait and consider other study abroad opportunities and maybe talk to an advisor before I commit to one? I feel like I feel like I’m sort of rushing this process. Though I would rather spend 3 weeks in the winter than spend a whole semester abroad.

Ps5 having LAN issues

So I live on campus and I’ve had my ps5 connected with Ethernet for about 3 weeks with no issues. Suddenly this week when I boot it up it says my wired lan is failing to connect to the internet? Sometimes restarting it helps but I’ve also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the cable and nothing really seems to work. Does anyone have any idea what the issue could be?

Help finding Hanami replacement near college park

I am wrecked from Hanami leaving college park and I want to find a replacement nearby. It needs to be a sushi/japanese place that is on the more reasonably priced side. If possible

  • atleast within 20 minutes of CP
  • cozy non busy atmosphere
  • strip mall preferable
  • has a sushi boat
  • not the one across from Goddard (it’s not too good)

Thank you!!!(:

IDEA 459/659 Expereinces?

I'm curious about the IDEA 459/659 class as an INFOSCI major, and the website doesn't give much information on how the class is conducted. Can someone who's taken the class or knows of someone who took the class please give me your experiences with it? I would also love a copy of the syllabus if you have one.

Places to drum?

As title says. I’m wondering if there’s any places to drum on the UMD campus. I’m not from Maryland, so I can’t drum as I left my drumset back at home…

I’ve heard there are practice rooms in the Clarice, but does anyone know if there’s an actual drumset in there?

Independently owned powerlifting gyms around College Park

I'm so sick of my current gym (Riverdale Gold's) and I have been looking for something closer to a grungy powerlifting gym like I had back home. I have been searching high and low and the only things that have been showing up within a 30 min drive have been commercial gyms like crunch and gold's. My top contenders are DMV Iron (stupid expensive) or Powerhouse (35 min drive from me). Are there any locally owned gyms on this side of DC or are those basically my only two options? Frankly I don't mind the drive, but I would prefer something a little closer if possible.

At this point literally I'm asking for is machines that are regularly maintained. There are machines at gold's that have been out of service since I got my membership in August.

Also I hate the on campus gyms, I need to have my backpack with me while I'm working out.

Lost Student ID

This is a repost, last one got taken down because I put up an image of the ID, which on a side note I apologize for. If you lost your student ID near the Varsity, I gave it to the Varsity front desk. Best. Don’t have image anymore.

Is anyone part of SASA?

I've been trying to get in touch with UMD's South Asian Student Association (SASA) for months. I've emailed their general email as well as their president and VP and heard nothing back. I am signed up for their email list but nothing's come to my inbox.

Is anyone part of it? Or do you know someone on the e-board? How can I get involved?

Opinion: Misinformation is everywhere, digital media literacy is the antidote

With the presidential election just around the corner, it is important to exercise your right to vote — if you have not registered yet, you should do that. But with as much emphasis that is put on mobilizing voters, there should be an equal amount of emphasis put on the validity of certain types of information and sources that may impact our political decisions and beliefs.

The spread of misinformation is becoming a critical threat, especially to younger generations. Misinformation campaigns continue to grow more sophisticated, driven by recent technological advancements, which makes it crucial that we take steps to safeguard our political processes.

UMD must implement mandatory digital media literacy courses as a graduation requirement to combat the misinformation epidemic.

To those that got scholarship money out of state

I really want to attend UMD (it's my #1 choice as of rn). Haven't applied, but I will by Novemebr 1st. To those that got a full ride or even partial tuition from UMD, what did your application look like? Are there certain things I should try to highlight to bring more attention to myself? I'm not too worried about being admitted but I am worried about money and not being able to afford it. For reference, I'm from Florida, with a full IB/AP courseload and straight As all throughout high school with a intended major of criminology (ik that are UMD it's a limited admission program).

Really I just need to know what to highlight on my application to make my chances better for scholarships (won't get financial aid so merit aid is my only shot).

If a class starts late October, is it still okay to add it now?

Just wanted to make sure there are no financial repercussions or any other issues. Not entirely sure if this is a stupid question or not, thanks in advance!

Edit: ANSWERED: "Thank you for contacting the Office of the University Registrar. To bypass a time conflict, you will need to contact your academic advisor in your advising college, which houses your major,  to request permission. If permission is granted, the advisor will place a permission stamp in the system allowing you to add both courses with the conflict." - per the registrar
