[quote=Anonymous]In your case, it sounds like UMD would be a great choice. If you have trouble convincing your kid, maybe a good compromise would be a study abroad or a summer program at some other state.

The people I know who studied out of state had a variety of reasons - majors/ courses that weren't available instate but were out of state, programs that were especially well-known or connected to work opportunities out-of-state, didn't get into their state flagship, scholarship money, better reputation of out-of-state school and parents who could fit the bill. Sometimes, there are even special situations you may not know about: a state that gives a kid instate tuition because their divorced parent lives there. I remember a kid who went to an out-of-state school for free or a reduced price because their dad was a member of a specific tribe - but people didn't even realize that because the kid was raised by a Hispanic man and people assumed that was his dad.

So yes, people have good reasons but that might not be your situation.[/quote]
