Campus Activities

The University of Maryland College Park has a lively campus, with many activities and organizations for different groups. You can see a movie or a concert, go bowling, take a yoga class, or play golf—all without leaving campus. There are also many student organizations to join, from sports clubs to religious organizations. If you want to exercise, you can go to the Campus Recreation Center, and if you want to see a live performance, students get discounts at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center.
