[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know it is ranked higher, but going to College Park if you live in the DC area is like going to George Mason if you live in NoVa. It's very familiar, not that attractive, full of kids you already know, and so close to home that you don't have an excuse if the parents want you to come home to see Aunt Maizie visiting from Des Moines. [/quote] Yep, that's it. I grew up in Silver Spring and, like most kids, wanted desperately to "go away" to college. The idea of going to the school 10 minutes from home, no matter how good the reputation (and at the time, it wasn't that great anyway), was not appealing. I bet it's the same for kids who grow up in Ann Arbor, Madison, Charlottesville, Gainesville, etc. [/quote]
