[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Got in but ds went to Umd for computer science.[/quote] Maryland resident here so I love UMD but your son made a mistake.[/quote] Maryland resident here who has a degree in CS from UVA; the MD CS department is definitely better than the UVA CS department. If the better CS experience/opportunities are more important than being at a (IMO) significantly nicer place to spend 4 years then they definitely did not make a mistake.[/quote] Great if Student definitely wants CS. No So Great if Student thinks that CS is the way to go but opts to change majors after the first year. At least UVA has many other strong options, unlike UMD. Combine that with in-state tuition and UVA is therefore a better choice.[/quote] I get what you're saying, but it's not quite as dire as you're saying. In reality a student would be fine with a degree from either school; they're both really good. [/quote]
