[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can you compare Uva and UMD? UVa basically has no STEM program. For UMD, engineering and CS programs are top notch. UVa, basically, nonexistent. [/quote]

Former international student here.

Long time ago while researching on UMCP, I was suprised to learn that:

1. UMCP was not the first state college in Maryland. University of Maryland Baltimore (UMB) was established way earlier. 
2. “University of Maryland” can actually mean UMB and to be specific you always have to add a campus name (college park)
3. UMCP doesn’t have any professional schools including law, medicine, dentistry, nursing, etc. 
4. Nevertheless, they still call it “flagship” although important professional programs like law and medicine are NONEXISTENT at UMCP. [/quote]

UMB is not an undergrad college. It's for post-college education (med/pharmacy/law...etc.). They are trying to integrate it now. [/quote]

We were talking about UMCP, right?  Or did OP mean UMB by saying UMD?  UMCP wanted to merge with UMB but UMB turned it down. They remain and will remain as separate institutes. [/quote]
