[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can do very well coming out of UMD but it seems best suited for kids who want to stay local. Nothing wrong in that. [b]UVA seems to be better known nationally and internationally.[/b] Sort of like Michigan, UCLA, Berkeley, Wisconsin. Everyone knows these schools even though UMD probably fits in somewhere in between. Most people don’t pay attention to exact rankings - just general reputation. UMD is a good school although I have to admit that I find the campus and town pretty depressing. I think professors for UMD live all over the region rather than close to the school. I know 2 UMD professors and they both live in DC[/quote]
UVA is barely known nationally and is not known at all internationally.
UMD is better known internationally. [/quote]

Good one, troll.[/quote]

I wouldn't argue either school is going to be well known internationally.[/quote]

It depends by whom. Scientists and academics know lots of schools. More of them know UMD because of its research productivity. Rich Asians know lots of schools because they send very many here to attend. Most of them know both. Otherwise, most people either know no American schools, or they only know Harvard. [/quote]
