[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like they are a bit apple and oranges. UMD is a research university, UVA is more liberal arts focused. UMD is twice the size of UVA in a smaller state (27,000 undergrads vs. 14,600). UMD is about 25% less expensive in state and much less expensive out of state than UVA. It also depends what you are interested in studying. If it's the sciences I'd probably choose UMD. If it's history then UVA. If you are financially constrained then UMD may be a better value. We are MD residents and are looking at UVA because it is more in line with what my DC is interested in. Cost is not a factor. But lots of DCs friends are looking at UMD, including kids who probably wouldn't have considered it 10 years ago (if they'd been looking at colleges 10 years ago). The profile and selectivity have definitely gone way up.[/quote] This is the OP - interesting point about the sciences vs. liberal arts and the research focus at UMD. Thanks.[/quote]
