[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a niece there who loves it! She has gotten really involved in a couple of activities, made great friends, and is doing well in her major (education). For her, it is perfect!

However, my own child wouldn’t even consider it. She felt like the business program was too weak and that she wouldn’t be able to get internships or jobs out of it. She also wanted a larger sports scene that in her mind is the college experience. As her parent, I fully understand her thinking and reasoning even as my wallet feels frustrated!

There seems to be a missing piece in Maryland for their second tier colleges. UMD is clearly number 1. For Stem, UMBC is the clear number 2- but only for kids that aren’t as interested in the college extras like athletics and such. For education, Towson is good. For a tiny, isolated school, St Mary’s is great. But for the kids who want the full college experience and do not get into Maryland…there’s not much for them.

If your child liked Towson, that’s fantastic! Make sure you look into outcomes for the chosen majors (when we looked into business, it was not good, but poly Sci might be different). I do think most kids will have a good experience there if the school has what they are looking for.[/quote]

This sums up my frustration with MD options.  Can you share where your child ended up for business?[/quote]
