[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh! So torn. Intellectually, UMD makes so much sense. Really impressed with the engineering program. Love the first year design class and the fact that they have strong professors teaching the 100 level classes. DD has an opportunity for research through the.FIRE program. Access to DC, food was great. Love the unlimited dining. Dorms were fine. School in a major conference and has big time athletics. I truly feel the engineering program is a way better fit for her than Virginia Tech, her other serious option. However, emotionally, the campus was just lacking. Something was just missing. [b]Kids not wearing Maryland swag, [/b]overall campus seemed a bit dated and lacked a certain energy. My kid is torn. She wants access to Greek life, athletics and wants a community with school spirit. Virginia Tech takes many boxes, but I have some concerns about the engineering program and she’s not sure she loves the location. We visit Virginia Tech next weekend for an admitted students event, so hopefully things will become more clear.[/quote]

Students wearing or not wearing swag has never been an indicator of school choice for me.

Sure, parts of campus have older buildings. But, where did you go on campus? The Clarice is a new performing arts center. The stadium looks new. The student union has been revamped. EJ and Marshall buildings are new. A lot of apartments on south campus are new.

Some dorms are old. One reason is because alum like coming back to see their dorms still there.
