[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Got in but ds went to Umd for computer science.[/quote]

Maryland resident here so I love UMD but your son made a mistake.[/quote]

Maryland resident here who has a degree in CS from UVA; the MD CS department is definitely better than the UVA CS department.  If the better CS experience/opportunities are more important than being at a (IMO) significantly nicer place to spend 4 years then they definitely did not make a mistake.[/quote]

Actually, most people would rather be in college park, since Charlottesville is in the middle of nowhere and amazingly has a higher violent crime rate.  Umd's location is why is has far more Nobel and Pulitzer winning faculty than UVA .  Additionally , because of its location , Umd has installations of NASA , NIH , FDA , NOAA , HHS , homeland security, the national weather prediction center, the international foreign language institute, the national archives and the American physics institute ON CAMPUS.

Not everybody goes for the remote southern plantation atmosphere .[/quote]
