[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another vote for UMD. Had a great time socially, but it’s too large and the teaching leaves so much to be desired. Occasionally I’d luck out with a good adjunct or a decent TA, but for the most part my professors were awful.[/quote]

I graduated 2007 and had some excellent teachers. one of them helped me get selected for a very competitive internship that was the stepping stone to starting my career. I would not be disappointed if my children decide to go there esp. for journalism, cs, engineering, politics and business. But, it's a large school, and would have liked an OOS experience. The school is pretty social (I made many long-term friends who still live in MD so I see them often). Its a good option for in state kids.[/quote]

I had a pretty good experience at UMD. intro classes could be huge and impersonal, but once you get into upper level, I'd say most of my teachers were excellent but there were a couple that were so-so. I was a commuter student and would want my kids to live on campus. The CS, Business and Journalism programs are top notch. It's a good option but big and too close.[/quote]
