[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]UMD will have a more robust residential life, especially on weekends[/b]. I'm impressed by the opportunities available to honors students.

But since you are willing to pay OOS tuition, are there close by private schools that are worth considering?[/quote]

Not true anymore.  6,600 students live on GMU's campuses.  All freshman are required to live in dorms unless they get a waiver.  My DD had four great years in the dorms at GMU and a very full social and academic life.[/quote]
UMD CP has 39 houses, and 9601 beds, and the purple line lightrail that stops right in front of the Student Union (Stamp) should open late 2027. [/quote]

You don’t think one can party hearty with 6,600 students? Also the facilities at GMU are much newer, nicer and state-of-the-art labs since everything is newer. My kid’s GMU dorm rooms were better than hotel rooms with full private bath and kitchen.[/quote]

For Freshman Dorms - what did your kid get? I remember mine back in the day - shared room, no kitchen, and communal bathroom.

Do Freshman get private rooms or baths not shared by your closest 40 friends?[/quote]
