[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My nephew got into Case but chose the the University of Wisconsin instead.  He got in state tuition and just graduated with his Masters in electrical and computer engineering.  He liked the Wisconsin campus better. [/quote]

Very different schools.  [b]Kids who pick case are looking for what the PP just stated----smaller, more attention, academic focused vs greek and athletics, ability to pick your major and not have to Apply and compete in the hunger games yet again (college admissions take 2), hospital access (there are 3 within walking distance that the university has great relationships with, etc.

UW is like UMD---huge school, they even let freshman live off campus last year because they over enrolled---Case requires 2 years on campus.[/b]

I agree with unbolded part. [/quote]

Good for you.  Seriously, you think UMD/UWMadison provide more attention than Case?  It's a fact that you cannot just self select majors at either of those schools, while at Case you can (except nursing--that is direct admit freshman year).  It's a fact that the greek system is less dominant at Case than at any Big10 school.  Yes there are academic focused kids at both schools, but you will find more with the party mindset at the Big10 school with 30K+ undergrads. All of the bolded is also true.  SO it really depends what your kid wants in a school.  But go aide, try to get into CS at UMD if you were not directly admitted. I know it is easy to do at Case. [/quote]
