[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two lumbering mediocre schools.[/quote]

This is not helpful nor adds to thread, actually it's pretty rude. Shame on you.[/quote]

By the rankings,they are mediocre schools.[/quote]

#59 (UMD) and #63 (Penn State) out of 400 ranked schools on USNWR and out of the 4,000 schools in the US. Hardly mediocre. OP, they are both great schools. I’d pick whichever feels right when you’re there. [/quote]

+1 as far as I am concerned they are both highly ranked. Elitism is not pretty. Nephew is at Penn State with a 4.0 in computer science is a freaking whiz. And the smartest kids I know from my kids public high school go to Maryland—I am talking perfect stats and teenage business owners. Calling UMD and Penn State mediocre is just nasty. [/quote]

This.

Let’s be real: unless your kid gets into a top 5 Ivy with scholarship money, it makes sense to go to your in-state flagship—particularly if it’s a well known flagship.

It makes no sense to spend significantly more to go OOS or private for another school higher in the rankings. None.

When it comes to deciding between PSU and UMCP, Maryland’s programs are better known and have better connections for internships in the DMV. Plus: location. Happy Valley isn’t near anything. Having said that, it’s the better choice for Pennsylvanians. [/quote]
