It’s the people here that make life unbearable. Students are obnoxious and childish. Heard juvenile remarks in the halls and dorms daily that threw me right back to high school. But there are terrible people everywhere, so that part just boils down to how many of the awful people are in your degree program.
The Professors and faculty are probably the absolute worst part of UMD. The teaching techniques haven’t evolved from 5th grade here. Every class will guaranteed have some awful element. From cringe inducing group activities to trying to understand the foreign exchange professors at all (I understand the cultural benefits of these professors but I can’t learn ANYTHING if I can’t interpret 80% of what they’re saying). Faculty and administration staff will let anything happen as long as it makes the school more money.
And as a last note, never go to college for fine arts. For the love of everything creative, if you’re thinking of going here to study visual or performing arts please, please don’t. I attended in a fine arts program and have been miserable every day since leaving the school.
The only thing UMD has going for them is a high quality green screen filming studio. If you love painting or acting, just go out and do those things. Don’t waste tens of thousands of dollars to have all of your creative passion be thrown out on the street as soon as classes are over and you’ll be completely forgotten unless you become famous. At which point they’ll try everything they can to leech onto your name and shout “OooOooo loOk wHo GrAduAted fRom DuLuTh.”. I’ve heard stories of actors in the BFA program never getting to perform once on a UMD (non-student production) stage. Like, what great training to never be on stage. Such preparation.
