[quote=Anonymous]A lot of Northern VA kids are starting to go to out of state universities, because the most popular schools like UVA, VT, and JMU have become very tough to get into, even for excellent students. If that ends up being the case, then you will have moved for nothing. Yes, VA has a lot of universities, but many of them are not the ones that a really great student will want to attend. I say this as a VA native and alumni of one of the schools you mentioned. As for UMD, why wouldn't your child get the "full college experience", if they were attending there? Most of the kids I know who are students, including my child, come home about as often as they would if they went out of state (which is not very often). UMD is an excellent university, with a great campus, and a lot to offer. Other popular MD schools the friends of my children attend are Salisbury, UMBC, and Towson. UMBC has a really great reputation for STEM majors. [/quote]
