[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC’s roommate is in engineering at UMD. His internship opportunities every summer have been incredible. He already has offers for after he graduates. Hasn’t had any issues getting the classes that he needs. Lots of apartment options right off campus that are closer to the classroom buildings than most of the dorms are.

+1 DC is a dual math/CS major at UMD. They got into honors, and got into Pyon Chen their first year.  That dorm is newish and pretty nice.  Second year, they lived off campus but since all of  their classes are STEM and concentrated in one area on campus, their dorm is closer to their classes than when they were living on campus.

It's a very large campus, to be sure.  IMO, the purple line is going to make going to places off campus a lot more easier.  They also go into DC on the weekends, or takes the bus to NYC.  The surrounding area isn't that great, but the location itself is great. Lots of different places to go to on the weekend.

Neither of my kids want to be in the middle of nowhere.

That said, Purdue is cheaper for oos. And the reputation is similar to UMD. So, go to Purdue if your DC doesn't mind being in the middle of corn fields.[/quote]
