[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMBC is an amazing school.  Not commuter at all. Go and check out the campus. I loved it! My kid chose UMBC over UMD for full merit.  [/quote]

Same here.  Amazing school and amazing program.  My kid chose UMBC over UMD not only because of full merit but also because of the size of the school. Stayed in the dorm and was extremely happy.  We are 40 minutes away from UMBC. This was before the pandemic.

Another kid chose UMD over UMBC mainly because they had an internship lined up at UMD. This kid also stays in the dorm. This is after the pandemic. We are 30 minutes away.

The UMBC kid rarely came home. The UMD kid comes home with his laundry almost every week.  UMD feels more like a commuter school to me based on how often my kid is home![/quote]

OP and PP thanks for this post. I have had some similar questions about “commuter” schools around MD & VA.  When I’ve tried posting in the past, I just got a lot of “I hear” its all commuters which is not helpful.  This is confusing because 40% of undergrads live on campus. That is much higher than a lot of schools that people dont consider commuter.  Nice to hear from an actual UMBC parent.[/quote]
