[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son was offered the same last year. We passed. But in examining the offer, they did offer him to live on campus and even take classes in the fall. BUT, I don't think you would have much say in which dorm you would be assigned for the fall (so my first semester Freshman could be paired with a Junior in a dorm that is NOT mostly freshman) and the classes he could take were limited to evening classes. To me it just sounds like a terrible way to start out your college experience...feeling "other than" from the start. [b]Such a gross money grab for UMD. [/b]We're from DC so instate tuition wasn't a hook for us. [/quote]
Huh? Would you have preferred a denial?[/quote]

Frankly, yes, absolutely we would have preferred a denial. UMD only does it to cover themselves for kids who flunk out after 1st semester, go overseas for semester abroad, etc. And good luck getting any merit aid. If you show that your kids is so desperate to go to MD that he/she is willing to sit out fall semester, there's no way they're giving your family any help. [/quote]

You are submitting out fall semester.  You have on campus housing. You just take classes from 3 to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.[/quote]

Sorry meant to say "you are not sitting out fall semester."
