]]> The Diamondback’s Love & Relationships in College Park https://dbknews.com/2025/03/12/love-and-relationships-college-park-tabloid/ Wed, 12 Mar 2025 20:51:28 +0000 https://dbknews.com/?p=467450 This semester, reporters from The Diamondback explored College Park’s bars, interviewed couples around campus and penned essays about the frustrating realities of modern college dating to create our latest special edition: Love & Relationships in College Park.

The Diamondback staff aimed to capture the quirks, limitations and specificities that make finding love — or just a halfway decent situationship — unique in College Park. It’s important to note that not every type of relationship can be represented in a collection like this, but every story featured is based on the honest experiences of students at the University of Maryland.
