[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMD was extremely large and bureaucratic. Students range wildly from insanely smart to incredibly stupid. A lot of arrogance/obnoxiousness. There was ALWAYS construction everywhere which got on my nerves. Barely any sense of the community that I was looking forward to. Crappy college town. The education is stellar in some programs (engineering, CS, etc.) and complete dogwater in others.[/quote] Isn't this a pretty on-target summary of any large state university? [/quote] Not all large state universities have a crappy college town. While UMD was suggested by college counselors to both our kids (would be OOS), I was relieved when neither expressed interest as I am not a fan of the UMD environs. Good friend moved from UMD to UVA as soon as one of her parents relocated from Prince George's to NoVA, mainly because she preferred Charlottesville over College Park.[/quote]
