[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We went to MD Day once when the kids were much younger, and my DC had an immediate hate for the campus.  By the time she was a senior, she still didn't want a big campus, and we were getting comparable COA at other schools.  I went to my state flagship, and liked that campus and surrounding area better than College Park, but do have my regrets about the big school experience, so I wasn't pushing UMD either.  DC is now about to graduate, and I think it was the right decision for her.  She has plenty of friends graduating from UMD, and that's been fine, too.  Only point is, at the time, it would have taken a lot of arm twisting to get DC to go to UMD, don't think she even wanted to do a tour for admitted students.  But if she goes to grad school, I think she'd now be fine with it.[/quote]

+1. Yeah.  I understand.  My daughter didn’t even consider that UMD ranked well in a couple of things she wants to study AND is good for jobs/ internship opportunities.  The immediate response was “I don’t like it and I want to get away from here”.  Not a good way to analyze the school.  [/quote]
