[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The town of College Park is a dump.[/quote]

What's so bad about it? Please elaborate.

Montgomery County resident. Don't make it out to College Park much. [/quote]

Obviously take it with a grain of salt because I was only there for a couple of days for work...but it just seemed really congested with traffic, with a big line of ugly strip malls with nothing interesting in them. Not enough green space or trees.

I still haven't read the other seven pages, but I bet others made similar comments.[/quote]
Yes, because it's an urban area.  If you want lots of green space, you want to go to a college in the middle of nowhere, in a rural area.[/quote]

The College Park campus is a dumpster fire and is always ranked as one of the worst college campuses in the US.

Back to your post, The University of Texas is in an urban area.  Lots of green space, a clean river and several lakes nearby.  Austin is one of the fastest growing cities in the US.  You can have a nice campus in an urban area.

The only problem is that most kids that attend College Park (or Global Campus at a 28% graduation rate) would never be accepted to UT.[/quote]

UT takes anyone within the top 6% of Texas high schools. Maryland has among the best and highest scoring high schools in the country. UMD entrants have higher SAT/ACT scores than UT Austin. That UMD students wouldn't get into UT Austin is laughable. [/quote]

Prove me wrong.  All 21,200 out-of-state students are holistically reviewed. Of these students, 1,700 were admitted and 19,500 were denied. This makes UT Austin’s out-of-state true acceptance rate 8.0%.
