[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having attended a 30K state flagship myself -- and spent genuine time at a dozen more for D1 football weekends -- I think I'd skip UMCP as the first introduction and head straight to UVA for the vibing. I also attended UMCP for a 2nd career degree though as a 40 something.

It's not that UMD wouldn't feel like a state school once you were -inside- the student union, or walking the hall of Dorm ABC.  I'm sure it does.  It's just that it's so incoherent and splayed out and spanning a too-big number of acres cut off by major high speed roads.

Even UCLA and the Ohio State feel more cohesive at their core than UMD.  If my mom took me to "walk" around UMCP as my first exposure to a big state school, I'd inwardly think WTF and pass[/quote]

What major road[b]S[/b]? Route 1/Baltimore? There's a lot of developments closer to the CP metro but the rest of the campus is pretty much on the other side of Route 1 and University Blvd. The campus has quads (library area for ex.) like most other universities. There are smaller lanes for vehicles within campus but campus is not cut off by major roads.[/quote]
