McKeldin Mall
This sprawling nine-acre quad at the heart of UMD's campus gives you the feeling of being inside an institution with real history—the kind of place where students have crossed the same grass for generations and where you can actually see the architecture doing what it was meant to do. Come here if you want to understand what a college campus feels like when it's working as a genuine public space.
