[quote=Anonymous]School tours are starting up again. My advice is to actually take a tour with your student at U of Michigan, U of Virginia and U of Florida and other schools they are interested in attending. Talk to students on campus. This way your child can determine what school is best for them. All schools have plus and minuses.

On paper, I thought UMD looked great. However, once our family visited the school, my daughter had no interest in living in College Park, MD for four years. With the actual visit, it became clear why UMD is ranked at 58 overall and other schools are ranked higher. Great price in-state, but no interest in living in College Park. And yew when you visit you will see that UMD does publicize their US News and World Repot rank for Computer Science, yet they leave off their overall rank of 58 on the street banners...

If the above poster named seven additional schools they thought were good schools that is fine. However, claiming that UVA and Florida were not as good in STEM or Overall is simply BS. I bet they never visited UVA or Florida. Only in DCUM would someone be so snarky and negative.

There are lots of great schools, visit with your student and determine what is the best fit for them. [/quote]
