******** Seperate blog for prospective UMCP students at:

Welcome

I was so confused when I was a prospective student as there were very less amount of information available for application for various US universities, campus life out there, course and curriculum and much other useful information. Thus I decided to come up with this blog which will try to answer all the queries which I use to have when I was a prospective student, provide some very useful information which is required based on my personal experience. You can also ask your queries in the comment section of my 'Thank you' post. I will try to answer all your questions to the best of my ability.

Saturday

Holidays!!!

Weekends: After coming to USA, I realized the importance of weekends. It’s the much deserved break from the hard working week. In weekends, you can go out for movies (costs around $10), go out for Indian dinner (costs around $7 to $10), go out to malls, go out for grocery shopping, clean your apartment, do your laundry every alternate weekends, do your studies, hang out with friends at their place and the most important thing that you do during your weekends is RELAXING.

Vacations: There will be three vacations throughout the year. Winter break of around one month (Dec – Jan), Spring break of around ten days (mid-March) and the biggest is the summer break which is of around three months (June- August). In the winter and spring break, students usually explore different places of USA. The domestic flight tickets are cheap if you book them early. So these two breaks are the right time to have fun with friends and roam around. In summer break, students usually look out for Internships or they do courses.
