[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WVU (looked at it as a safety and one that gives out a LOT of merit $$$) -- went in with low expectations and it was worse than expected.  The surrounding town was depressing and downtrodden and the older part of campus was super hilly and not great.  The new part of campus was okay but the split between the two was weird.  Our tour guide was A+ though -- best we had anywhere.

UMD -- they seemed totally disinterested in trying to attract students.  The whole experience including the campus was meh.  Surprising because it seems like students like it.[/quote]

We had the opposite experience ar UMD. DD was not super jazzed, but a wonderful tour guide got her excited about all the possibilities. [/quote]

We had the worst experience at UMD admitted student day.  Completely disorganized and not welcoming and a lot of deadtime.   However, we took one of my friend's kids to a late lunch after it and he totally sold my son on UMD.  [/quote]

PP here. We accidentally booked a regular tour rather than for an admitted event (found UMDCP's admissions calendar confusing), but we lucked out in that the guide was in the honors house my kid was interested,  so she gave her an extra tour of that house on her own time. My kid was the only Sr. in her tour group,  and the guide talked a lot yo her specifically. [/quote]
