[quote=Anonymous]I am from Maryland. I went to UMCP.

I know many very successful people that have gone to frostburg, salisbury, McDaniel (which was called Western Maryland) and Towson. I also know some very good students that are currently in all of these schools. I would not call these students slackers, or bad students. Mostly UMCP is too big.

All are good sound choices for schools.

The only considerable difference is that frostburg is cold and the kids go skiing and at salisbury they are near the beach and go to the beach. Kids who want a city experience go to Towson.

Kids that can't get into UMCP and want a big school experience aften can get into WVU. Also I know a few kids that did get into UMCP but thought WVU was prettier and wanted to be near wide open spaces.

I also know some kids that have gone to CC then to UMCP. I would say these kids are extremely responsible and care ALOT about how much their parents are paying for college. This is rare. I would not send a lost soul to CC and hope they make it to UMCP.

Salisbury has gotten some donations from Perdue and they have been putting money into their business school .

I also know some kids that are going to Mount St. Mary's and St. Mary's  (2 very different schools).... once all was said and done, they are paying a few thousand (2-4) more than the state school thanks to merit scholarship and financial aid.

I also have a nephew who did not want the big school experience, went to UMBC, worked for PWHC, now is working on the hill and applying to grad school.

There are lots of options. It comes down to where the child feels he belongs. [/quote]
