[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Son is struggling between University of Maryland and William & Mary. 
 
Major = economics
Straight A student in high school
accepted in Scholars at Umd and James Madison scholars at W&M

Worried that there is little school spirit at W&M and there will be little to do other than studying with the high academic rigor often spoke about at W&M.

First impression of UMD was that it was [b]"so big....I'm going to get lost"....[/b]but has school spirit.  He knows that he will find his way if he went there.

University of Md is our state school but was given some aid to attend W&M.

He needs to make the decision but is struggling.  First of many struggles in life, I know.  I would love to hear from any parents or students in the same situation.  He will make the best of either situation, I"m sure.  As his parent, I see him feeling "stuck".  Not sure what else we can offer to help him make the decision.  [/quote]

Your kid won't get lost at UMD. While its campus is physically large, it won't matter. He will have classes with same kids over the 4 years. [/quote]

Not to hijack the thread but can you explain this? Is it just because OP’s kid is in honors? What about kids who aren’t? I went to a school half as big as Maryland and only had the same classmates in a couple of my major classes. [/quote]
