Where hip meets historic

Hood's picturesque 50-acre campus is ideally situated in the middle of charming, historic Frederick, Maryland, less than one hour from Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Gettysburg, and surrounded by mountain views.

College towns are known for their youthful, intellectual energy. Hood's community of Frederick is no exception, with its modern sensibility, love of learning, diverse population and vibrant cultural scene.

You can take an easy walk to Downtown Frederick to a lively Main Street, with an eclectic mix of restaurants and cafes, unique specialty shops, galleries, museums and theaters housed in Civil War-era buildings. Carroll Creek Park features a walking path with plenty of seating and public art.

Just a couple blocks from campus, Baker Park boasts 58 acres of tennis courts, softball and baseball fields, Culler Lake, a public swimming pool, playgrounds, a band shell and a walking path to Downtown Frederick.
