This makes it easy to do things in and around the cities.

Also, the campus is beautiful and enjoyable to be on.

Maryland boasts an incredibly diverse campus, and coming from a tiny, homogenous town, it's a welcome change. Many of my friends went to colleges similar in size as our high school, and thus they miss out on meeting people from all different backgrounds.
