[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There were kids in our Bethesda neighborhood who didn't even apply to UMD because they wanted to get away from MoCo students. [/quote] Of my three kids, one did not choose UMD, and the others did not apply. Their choices are in no way a reflection of what a great school UMD is, but personal preferences and realistic views of the type of environment in which they would be most likely to succeed. They all thought that the campus felt too big and overwhelming. Unlike some other larger schools, which are either situated in a small town where the university is the town (UVA, VT, Penn State) or in urban areas (Pitt), College Park is a hybrid of urban and stand-alone town. I agree with the others who said that you have to be a go-getter to do well in College Park. Some kids function better in a smaller, more manageable environment. [/quote]
