[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in MD. We have 2 kids at UMD. UMD has been great. But I will admit that UVA has more status as a tougher admit for OOS. One of my kids applied to UVA and didn’t get in. He likely would have picked UMD even if he had because of the enormous cost savings. We’ve been to UVA/Charlottesville many times and I didn’t see the appeal of the area for a college student. College Park isn’t charming but its a fun town and convenient to DC which many students take advantage of. I worry about crime there but we were accosted on the pedestrian mall (not sure the official term) in Charlottesville so I didn’t feel safe there at all. [/quote] That’s the downtown mall. Most students don’t spend a lot of time there, unfortunately it is not very safe. Students hang out at the bars on the Corner and at Greek houses if they are not homebodies.[/quote]
