[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they go to UMD they meet regional kids. If they go to Wisconsin or Michigan or Penn State, they meet kids from all over the country. There is a large DMV population at Wisconsin so your kid will find his tribe but they will meet a lot of others from every state. The cultural, political, and geographic differences are big. Madison is a state capital surrounded by 4 lakes and the hub for a major international research institution. Sports and activities are different. College Park is an urban campus. UMD is a great school but very different from other big public universities. [/quote] So while UMD is only about 20% out of state students, UM Ann Arbor, CU Boulder, Penn State and Wisconsin Madison are all around 40%. How much extra money is that additional 1 out of 5 students from out of state worth? [/quote]
