Op here. I have not seen that. I’ll search. Was it about state flags?

Found it.

Op here. Thanks PP! It would be a full circle moment if this came from the gift giver! I didn’t realize this was a popular thing at the moment.

Op again. Also, yes DS is going out of state

Seems weird to me to hang the state flag.
Why not be more creative?

Two kids, each out of state. Both have flags from their colleges, not from Maryland

I'm an upstate NYer living in MD and I'll admit any day that the MD flag is 100x better than New York's.

Why would they have the college flag on the wall of a dorm on the college campus?Or you mean those triangular felt flags?

No.

My kid went to a private school in PA. Her roommate was also from MD, and they definitely found a state pride to bond over. (She bought some state swag, but nothing as large as a flag).

Let you son decide what he wants to do.

Hillbillies in Alabama will do the same.

No, Arizona has the best one. I hate the random heraldic stuff on the Maryland flag.

Not a fan of the MD flag either. It always reminds me of a harlequin or court jester.

I know several DC kids with a DC flag in their dorm room.

My son is at Michigan and it seemed like a ton of kids had Michigan flags in the dorms. Like this:

Think. If you go to college in MD, you don't need to hang a MD flag. Who are these morons reflexively dumping on UMD?!

My children attend unis elsewhere, but come on. UMD is a perfectly decent institution.

It’s usually bitter Uva types left behind in the 2nd rate acc.

MSU included an MSU porch flag with the admissions letter this past year.
