Exclusive Deals for Terps
Oct. 28–30, 9 a.m.–2 p.m. daily
For 3 days only, Terrapin Trader opens its doors at the Severn Building (5245 Greenbelt Rd) exclusively to UMD students, faculty, and staff. Otherwise known as the university’s surplus store — and one of campus’s best-kept secrets — it’s a hidden gem packed with treasures at rock-bottom prices.
Shop desks, chairs, computers, lab/scientific equipment, and athletic apparel at 50% off listed prices (sweatshirts, sweatpants, hoodies, $32.50–$55; Under Armour shoes $50–$75). With Homecoming around the corner, it’s the perfect time to stock up on Terp gear and shop sustainably.
The only thing missing is you.
