[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son committed to UMD College Park for Computer Science major.
It was really his best option for what he wants to study and it is something we can afford, with his scholarship.
He is aware that many students from his school also will be attending.  There's nothing to be done about that, though.
It's a good school with a good program, and he won't need to take out any loans to attend, or work more than a few hours a week unless he develops an expensive hobby or something.
I also like that we won't have to worry about flying him home in the fall if he starts out at school and then needs to come back home.
If distance learning is still in effect next fall though... I think we will probably just have him live at home and save on the dorm fees freshman year.  [/quote]

My DD is also doing comp sci at UMD -excellent program/excellent price.  Now lets just hope they get to go![/quote]

Same here, except for physics rather than comp sci. He left UMD last for the visits, and didn't go until after he was already admitted. I'm thankful that he did three visits (one general, one major-specific, and one shadow day for an Honors College junior majoring in physics) before COVID, because he really liked it. We were planning on going to UIUC and Madison over spring break, his other top choices for quantum physics, but obviously the virus interfered. He's much more of a homebody than my other kid, and not being able to visit those sealed the deal.[/quote]

Funny, my DS is deciding between UMD, UIUC, and Madison too. For CS. Only visited UMD and had planned on the others during spring break.[/quote]
