 "By far the most innovative and interesting program I came across in my college search, QUEST serves as the ultimate academic experience for anyone remotely interested in quality enhancement, systems design, or teamwork. Originally, I became interested in QUEST because of its strong reputation as one of the leading interdisciplinary honors programs in the nation. However, after experiencing QUEST for just one semester, I have come to realize the full value of learning about all the components that the program focuses on. You simply can't afford to miss the QUEST program with its top-notch faculty, the availability of incredible resources at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, and even its fun extracurricular student organization component as well. I strongly encourage every eligible student to apply for this truly enriching experience."

"Joining QUEST has been one of the best decisions I made at College Park. The program has offered me experiences that most people don’t obtain until they face the real world. Not only do I feel more prepared through my QUEST classes, but also the teams I have been on, are ones of lasting friendships. Students are not the only positive people in QUEST; the faculty is very valuable and willing to assist in making the most of your time in the program. QUEST is definitely something I would chose again in a heartbeat; the relationships, experiences, and courses have aided my college career for the better."
