[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMD college park. Grad 2004. Electrical engineering and now work in defense. I had a good experience. Swe and other engineering societies to make it feel smaller. I'm still friends with many of those classmates.  There were some very supportive women professors and I was lucky that most of my cohort of students seemed to not be sexist. I had a couple on campus lab research positions during my time there and those professors and grad students were very supportive and it was all merit based. If you could hack it, who cares if you were a woman. I personally don't remember any incidents or disparaging remarks (maybe I got lucky). I have a couple women friends who teach there now. I could have gone to CMU or elsewhere but chose UMD because it was free for me (dept of engineering scholarship). Coming out of school worth no debt is freeing. Oh and I work 40 hrs a week and made $60k straight out of undergrad. We hire for about that and more depending on other experience. [/quote]

Thank you. Very helpful.[/quote]
