[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree it’s a terrible campus and if anyone tells otherwise they are fooling themselves. Just because the OP reached this conclusion during an open house shouldn’t change anything. Tours can make it or break it for a lot of kids. Not every campus fits the eye of everyone. UMBC has a lot of defenders on this site. 
If I had to chose somewhere other than UMD, it would be Towson before UMBC. [/quote]

Towson has ZERO reputable STEM programs. No thanks [/quote]

Not everyone is a STEM major. Many of the teachers who interact with your child on a daily basis have probably attended Towson.[/quote]

I had a better experience with the UMBC education program than the Towson one, but that doesn't mean Towson isn't a fine school. People are looking for different things in a college. I knew one parent who urged her DD to attend Towson over UMBC because the nearby shopping was better. Really?! Wasn't an issue in the end anyway, because her kid got rejected at UMBC, but it goes to show you the value systems of some parents when looking at colleges. SMH...[/quote]
