Yeah, learn to love the metro. It's gotten much more expensive in recent years, so you're gonna want to get a smartpass as soon as you can if you plan on staying at UMD for more than a semester; it costs five bucks (ten, actually, but if I remember correctly you get five dollars credit to start out with) but it saves areound 50 cents per ride (is that right? I've taken to using the bus now, so I don't remember exactly, but it's something like 40-50 cents per trip.)
As for bars, once you can go to them, that is, you might actually be better off sticking to MD. They're expensive as all holy hell near pretty much every metro stop, so unless someone finds a nice place where you can get two dollar beers or less don't even bother.
I would recommend some places to eat, but none of them even approach being kosher, if you're still following that strictly. If not, go to Ben's Chili Bowl first thing, then Henry's Cafe down the street. Henry's has some damn good fried chicken and decent sides.
Good luck. I've heard UMD is a really fun campus to be on. It's really big, so I imagine they're plenty to do social-wise.
Oh, and if any of the bus lines go into College Park, use them instead of the metro. Cheaper, and you get a nice view. I don't think any of the lines extend beyond the district border, but I could be totally wrong about that, so take advantage of it if you can.

This is the wrong attitude. There will always be loads of work at uni, and occasionally you just need to say "**** you work I'm going to dress up as a superhero/Monty Python character/Pokémon and get smashed" in order to relax. Of course, if you don't like getting drunk then by all means don't drink, but regardless do not plan on having a "quiet time". Plenty of time for that when you're retired.

drinking going to house parties bars is where you meet friends have fun relax forget about your problems.... and your night....
just do so somewhat responsibly. stay away from certain drinks and drinking styles.

Parties really are overrated though. Unless you are fishing for some one night stands with ladies, there are much better activities with friends. I enjoyed going to a "kickback" of a friend of mine, where the policy was lots of alcohol, but only those invited by the house hosts could come, no guests unless you asked. My friend, the house host, (along with another guy who lived there) picked a good 35 people they knew to come hang out and it was great alcohol fueled networking with people who were actually damn interesting. Large parties and the such are simply a dumb escape for people who seem to get enjoyment out the primal urge to regress to a complete idiot and proceed to **** a woman. They usually have a very poor caliber of people attending and are too numerous for the house to hold adequately.
Depends on the party of course, but so long as you know people there you should be alright.

The selection process for the FBI honors Internship program is extremely rigorous (which is why I need to concentrate on doing well in college and getting lots of internships with local PDs and stuff like that). Only around 100 students are chosen each year. When you are selected you spend 10 weeks during the summer at Quantico and the FBI HQ in Washinton DC. Afterwards you spend one day a week, if you want, working the the local FBI office so you can retain your TS clearance (if you choose not to, you lose the TS clearance and pretty much all the work you put in has gone to waste, I think), and upon graduation you enter the FBI full time, but not as a Special Agent- you need to later apply to get that status.
So I guess that counts as 3 years of work experience.

Lol you have to be 19. Tough luck, hombrez.
Better than 21, though.
Australia still beats you.
Start drinking around 12, legally drink at 18.
Sex at 16 is good as well.

Plus in Alberta the state government gives you free money I heard. They were making such a profit they just sent everyone a check...

...unless you have adult supervision.
...unless you have adult supervision.
You seem to be missing the point. Adult supervision + underage drinking = lame

yeah, buuuut if they're like 19 yr old adults, not so lame.
Congrats...Now enjoy college the way you want to enjoy it. Everyone has their own opinion, but yours really is the only one that matters.

No offence dude, but nineteen year olds aren't interested in helping underage kids drink, unless they're close family.

Yeah, the crown corporations do that over here, too, but we're obviously not as boomingly rising up in the world like those effing Albertans are. Bastards. But yeah, I remember getting a cheque for 20-some bucks and bought a few beers at the bar with that. Good time.
Also, it's "provincial government," not "state government." Jesus, Rhy, we're brothers of the commonwealth. Get your damn information right, you backwater Brit. :smile:

Well if you replace nineteen with twenty one, that statement isn't always true in America. How do you think all the freshmen and sophmores got booze? We would pay some kid like 20% of the total price of the alcohol to go buy it for us. Like most things, it boils down to money :).

It feels good going into a liquor store and legally buying alcohol, though. Especially when there's a cute girl working the till.
I like brunettes.
So today I got my acceptance notification to University of Maryland (my dream school, btw).
I also got into Rutgers and GA State, but I got those acceptance letters long ago.
I can now breath. No more college essays, no more worrying about whether Ill get in...
Senioritis, here I come!
don't be a fool: the worst thing you can possibly do is to get lazy in your senior year: you'll just end up getting out of the swing of things, and you won't be as quick to adjust to College. at least that's what I observed in friends of mine who did this.

Sometimes I wonder if I would have done better working full-time for a year after high school instead of driving straight to university (it sort of felt like nose-diving into a deep pool without water), but then again... Would the situation truly have been better? I tell myself not to dwell on that.
Don't get lazy, Hooah! "Work hard and get laid," that's my motto.
