[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As far as personalities...

Towson is a lot like GMU in VA: a pleasant campus in suburbia. Nothing like UMd or Florida State or even UCF.

Frostburg is a coherent campus but it's wayyyyy out in western MD and the academics aren't as strong.

St. Mary's is a liberal arts college way down by the water. It's gorgeous and a good deal if your child wants a slac, not a big uni.

UMBC is particularly well known for sciences and hosts the prestigious Meyerhoff Scholars program. It is where the health sciences majors are. [/quote]

Native Marylander here and I agree with these descriptions. There is also Salisbury on the Eastern Shore - [b]I believe the academics are similar to Frostburg[/b] - and also Morgan State, which is an HBCU.

As an alum, I will give a shout-out to SMCM. I went there way back when and loved it, but it is very small and in a very rural setting. It was life-changing for me in only the best ways.

I'm not sure that the bolded is true. Salisbury is know more for its business school, and is building up its health sciences programs as well. [/quote]

Frostburg's admissions rate is 74%
Salisbury's admissions rate is 77.6%

Salisbury claims to have slightly higher SATs but it's a difficult comparison when so many schools accept kids without test scores.
