Aussie,
I have to laugh everytime says Maryland is in the south. Ok i guess to someone living in Massachusettes we are in the south, but to me, Georgia and Florida are the south.
I can tell you that UM is a biiiig campus! If ya like that in a university....it is very close to Washington DC so you can do a lot of sight seeing. Also not far from Baltimore City (also a tourist attraction). The climate in MD is the basic four seasons, unlike Florida where it is always soooo hot. The campus is set up like the main building surrounded by lots of other class buildings and so forth. I hope you're in good shape, cuz sometimes with big colleges you have classes on total opposite sides of the school. I go to a small private college, there are only about 7-800 people. Its nice not to have to migrate 3 miles everytime i have a class.
If you want to check out University of MD, here is their web site....
www.umd.edu
You can look up their campus and check out the Frats that reside there. Go to the directory section and simply type in Fraternities and it will give you listings.
