[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish that College Park was a nicer town in general.  I know PG county is making strides but right now it's not a very inviting entrance onto campus.

I also wish MD had more than one "good" state school.  Va has William and Mary AND UVA.  It would be nice if MD had a second well regarded school in another part of the state.[/quote]

[b]St Marys College seems to going through a rough patch right now[/b] but I think it has a lot of potential if you want a SLAC experience (in a nice but non-urban setting).[/quote]

Please elaborate. DD is interested in St. Mary's. We looked at the school and liked what we saw, particularly the price tag. It's an honors college. What's going on there? [/quote]

You can probably google it. The school was significantly under enrolled the last couple of years. I think the new pres or ad was ousted as a result (or certainly talk of it). [/quote]

Apparently St. Mary's recruiters completely bypassed Howard County(!) one year:
