[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMD is to this area as SUNY is to NY.

Regional, but .. very well respected in region.  And if you had to pick a region, NY is not a bad region.

uh no.  UMD is nationally recognized. Towson is regional and would be seen that way.[/quote]

just as NYers think that SUNY is nationally recognized, so do DMVers think UMD is nationally recognized. They're nationally recognized .. by some.  But they're no UVA, no MI, no UCLA or Cal, no UT Austin, no UGA,  not even a WI or Iowa or Indiana or Ohio.  Don't ask me why. Not a knock on quality.  It's about sports probably. [/quote]
? If  UGA is nationally recognized so is UMD.  UMD is higher ranked than UGA.

UMD is B1G.

You clearly just hate UMD.[/quote]

I don't! I'm just a NYer stuck on DCUM (RIP YBM) and I've learned in the last few months that UMD is a good school. As a person who has lived and worked for giant tech companies in NY for 30 years, I didn't know that before. Sorry. Still think it's about sports![/quote]

I'm military so I've lived all over.  I think you're right.  People in an area know a set of schools and don't realize that their perception doesn't match someone 1000 miles away.  Any state schools that have national recognition are due to size, popular media, or sports.  The NY school system has none of those.

If your kid is trying to get a job in Texas after graduation none of the SUNY schools will have any more name recognition than University of Maryland, University of Vermont, or University of Georgia unless the person in human resources grew up in NY.  I moved to Texas after getting a degree from a highly respected regional school nobody in Texas is aware of.  I still got a job.  [/quote]
