Hmm, while I like Hogan better than Northam, especially after the blackface stuff...

I can't help but get excited for all the recent changes in VA thanks to the state legislature.

As to OP's question, the Purple Line will make it easier to get to UMD, and UVA is pretty far away. Plus, even though there are more jobs in NoVA, baby of the non-profits are based on Silver Spring and MoCo. [/quote]

Sorry, maybe, not baby.

Wait, how is UMD not quality? It's one of the best public universities and great programs in certain fields, like computer science. And, no, I'm not an alumni. If you want no good in-state schools, you should try where I'm from. [/quote]
UMD is nothing in comparison to UVA. The main problem with the Maryland school system is the bench isn't deep enough. If your kid can't get into UMD or doesn't want the Big 10 scene, there aren't really other options.  [/quote]

UMD is better than any Virginia school in engineering and mathematics. I assume there are also other programs in which UMD beats out any Virginia school. If you really know anything about universities, you would know that you have to judge on the program level in addition to the school level. Yeah, I guess getting a basketweaving degree is always better at Princeton than at Maryland. But for example, business school? Princeton doesn't even HAVE one, lol. This is why specific programs rankings important[/quote]

An undergraduate degree in business, unless it comes from Wharton or a few other places, doesn't carry much clout.  And Princeton has one of the best economic departments in the country.

I don't think Maryland people really should try and defend College Park's standing relative to universities in Virginia by comparing it to HYPS.  [/quote]

The closest thing to a basketweaving degree at Princeton is a sociology degree, which Michelle Obama obtained before Harvard Law, a position at the top law firm in Chicago (Sidley), and a lucrative career before becoming First Lady.  Sounds pretty good compared to managing inventory with a business degree from Maryland.  [/quote]
