To take advantage of this convenient mobile app, simply download the UMD Student Affairs "TERPLife" app (for iOS and Android), and search for Terrapin Tour.

In addition to the Terrapin Tour, this app houses a wealth of information pertaining to all aspects of life at UMD – Dining, Housing, Student Activities & Clubs, and some of our most Frequently Asked Questions.

You can only learn so much about a school from a brochure. Even if we tell you how beautiful our campus is, or how fantastic our students and faculty are, you will not know for yourself until you experience it for yourself!

Come try on our campus for size! Stop by one of our top-notch athletic facilities. Have a scoop of homemade ice cream at the Dairy. Rub the nose of one of our beloved Testudo statues for good luck. Get all your questions answered. It won't be hard to picture yourself at home here for the next four years.
