[quote=Anonymous]If paying $20K, $15K, or even $5K more for an OOS public is “close” enough for you, then you are very fortunate that money is not an issue for you. I don’t say that with malice but genuinely hope that you and your DC appreciate how lucky you are. But for those families where even $5000 more a year makes all the difference, it is unhelpful of you to say that there are OOS options for Maryland residents that are close to or less than UMD. And for a student that was not accepted at UMD, the merit $ amounts are going to be even lower so I really question how “close” to in state you are talking about.

UMD is $23,000 if you don’t include indirect costs like books. To make an apples to apples comparison, here are the similar costs for the schools being discussed if you only include housing, typical meal plan, and tuition + mandatory fees (no books, no supplies, no other incidental costs which can really vary)

UMD (in state)
Tuition and Fees - $10,595
Housing and Meal Plan - $12,429
Total – $23,024
