[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is deciding between these 2 schools for computer science UMD OOS 46K (tuition and room and board) VT IS we have a prepaid 529 so cost is only R&B (16K) DD really has no preference for campus and can see herself being happy in either. An advantage for UMD is it's less than 1 hour drive away vs VT being 4 hours away and she would prefer being close to home. As parents, we worry a bit about safety at UMD since it is in PG county (is it a valid worry or are we being paranoid?) We can afford the higher cost but really wondering if the extra cost is worth it. We know UMD is better ranked than VT in CS, but is the outcome (recruitment, jobs upon graduation,...) so different that it warrants an extra 120K? [/quote] Your prepaid will pay something for umd— I’m not sure how much though. [/quote] OP here. Our Prepaid only has a value of about 40K if we were to cash it out. [/quote]
