[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP child might get merit aid from UMD as well. [/quote]
UMD is very large and a hit or miss depending on who teaches the class.  There are so many classes taught by graduate students with no teaching experience. [/quote]

OP here, this is definitely a concern for DS. He leans towards the smaller schools but [b]we're pushing him to the bigger schools for better opportunities and offerings.[/b][/quote]

Huh? Such as? You seem a little misinformed, OP.[/quote]

Sorry, I meant bigger schools in a sense that there are more majors and often times larger departments, and more opportunities meaning that with such a large student body and faculty, there are so many opportunities open to the students. That isn’t to say smaller schools don’t have opportunities, but bigger schools usually have more resources.[/quote]

It doesn’t always work that way. A lot of the opportunities at larger schools are reserved for the grad students. At smaller schools, they are widely open to undergrads. Don’t push him away from small schools if that’s what he’d prefer. He may have a better shot at merit, and more opportunities. [/quote]
