[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Washingtonian or Bethesda Magazine recently published this. It was disturbing. Not aiming for Harvard but community college or UMD is not OK.[/quote]

You're putting the University of Maryland at College Park in the same category as Montgomery College? Why?[/quote]

UMCP is very competitive for in state students AND don't forget some kids don't have the luxury of 4 years at a private college or university. MC provides two years of cost effective instruction and the ability to transfer. I think we will see more and more people choosing the community college option -as costs continue to skyrocket.[/quote]

This might be true, but IMO, it lacks a "true college experience".  I wouldn't want my child to go to UMD, and at our private school (not a Big 3) it's considered a failure to go to UMD. [/quote]

That is BS. My daughter goes to Holton and even some of those girls chose UMCP over other private elite schools. Especially girls that needed FA to attend private school to begin with. It is not looked down upon.  If my daughter got a full ride there you bet your ass, she is going there. It is a great school with division 1 sports. [/quote]
