[quote=Anonymous]UMD is not as good as UVA, but let's be real here... Unless your child is going to be in a STEM field (which UMD excels at) they're going to have to go to grad school anyway, so going to UMD (which has cheaper in-state tuition than UVA and most other in-state VA schools) is not going to put them at a disadvantage. People are acting like UMD is a subpar school because it's not UVA, which is like docking a school points for not being Harvard. It's a fine school and has a lot of great, well-respected programs. Most importantly, it's most well-respected programs are in fields where you can get a well paying job with just a bachelor's degree (STEM fields). Also, from what I understand the difference in tuition between state and private colleges is great on paper, but isn't that disparate when it's all said and done because of the more generous financial aid that's doled out at private schools. I don't have children that age yet, but can anyone else confirm? [/quote]
