Concerns about the Freshman 15 aside, college comparison website Great Value Colleges is out with a list of the 50 best ice cream shops near college campuses, and one in Maryland made the list.
The Maryland Dairy, a 90-year-old ice cream parlor located in the Stamp Student Union on the University of Maryland College Park campus, was among the list of 50 favorites.
“After existing for so many years, The Dairy has become a student tradition,” the website says. “Even one of the Yelp reviewers returned for another taste of the dairy after being gone for 30 years.”
Great Value Colleges based its choices on ice cream shops within walking distance of campus, awards and Yelp ratings.
Among others on the list:
- Two Spoons at University of Colorado, Boulder
- The Maryland Dairy at University of Maryland
- Chilz Frozen Custard at University of New Mexico
- Mallard Ice Cream at Western Washington University
- Slickables Ice Cream Sandwiches at Arizona State University

Correction
An earlier version of this story referred to the list as a ranking. It represents just the website’s 50 favorites.
