[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][u][b]The University of Maryland gets little attention (especially among the private school crowd) here despite being ranked above schools such as VATech, Indiana and Miami of Ohio that are mentioned [/b][/u][i][b]regularly.[/b][/i] Maryland seems to be held in higher regard by students in New Jersey (1,500 a year go to Maryland) than by DMV students. Maryland has a 95% retention rate that is in line with Top 25 schools and much higher than other schools in the rankings.
 
The schools that you listed are in pretty, small town locations, with major cities within driving distance.  Maybe that is why people prefer them.  Also, kids like to get away from home and Maryland may feel like you are going to school in your backyard.

I went to Indiana and I, personally, never liked the scuzzy Route 1 that leads into the University of Maryland.  Ick.  Indiana Univ. at Bloomington tops Maryland by leaps and bounds if you are talking about the idyllic college town.[/quote]

I just checked out the famous Indiana Alumni.  It's kind of sad.  Seems like a school for shrinking violets that aren't too bright.[/quote]

Repeated use of the phrase "shrinking violets" gives PP away as a repeat dumb-ass. [/quote]
