[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know University of Maryland has become a pretty tough admit, but I don’t think the general public knows and appreciates that and no one is impressed by anyone who goes to university of Maryland. That’s sad.[/quote]

Says who?[/quote]

The rest of America. They know California is nice, and Oregon has hippies, and Washington State has tech, and New York State has many schools, and many of them like Ohio and Florida.

But Maryland? I'm not even convinced most of the country can find it on a map. [/quote]
It’s true. I’ve met people who don’t even know what region Maryland is in. [/quote]
I'm originally from CA.  I would say for most people in CA, if they can't get into T15 oos, then they will stay in state.   I had never heard of UMD, or even UVA for that matter, or UIUC or GATech.   So, it's not a knock on UMD (and my kid is there now and happy with it).  It's just that California is like its own country when it comes to college.  So many good schools to choose from; the vast majority don't know or care about these oos colleges.

I do think that has changed in the past several years, though.  UMD is known in the tech industry now because of Brin (Google).[/quote]

DP.  I think this is a bit bizarre. All the schools you mention are very well known for CS and highly respected. You may not know them, but they will all have top notch instruction and hood networking opportunities.  They all attract oos students. Where have you been? Too much beach? [/quote]
I'm a lot older, so we are talking years ago. But, as I said, it has changed.  Even so, most CA students still stay in state.

Of course they all attract oos.  I'm just saying CA students have such a wide variety of great schools most don't care to look oos.[/quote]
