It feels like we just came back from winter break, but we are already approaching the first day of spring! With all of the beautiful sceneries and the weather, it is truly a shame to stay on campus during this joyful time of the year. There are so many spots in the DMV area that are rich with breathtaking scenery, luxurious shopping malls and boutiques, and absolutely appetizing restaurants. The University of Maryland offers a very convenient, well-established metro bus system that allows students to go on an ambitious adventure whenever they would like. It is a lot easier to navigate the train stations than you would expect. Are you concerned about the cost? Don’t you worry! The round trips on metro can be charged through a metro card that starts from $10. Now that you have all of this exciting information, here are the 10 Must Go To places around College Park with your friends, family, and significant others during this exciting spring season!
