[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be fair, there's not much school "provided" perks at UMD. Kids have to find the opportunities themselves - particularly when it comes to research opportunities. But I don't this is a bad thing. It forces kids to grow up, be more assertive, and be more accountable for their college years. [/quote] I actually wasn't kidding about UMD. Their engineering students make bank on paid summer internships and most graduate in 4 years. The companies come to them all of the time. Same with research positions all over the school. Pretty easy to find. [/quote] You are talking about top performing kids, yes? UMD engineering dept is huge. I know plenty of kids who were unable to find internships/research positions. Top kids, yes, definitely. [/quote]
