Larry (UM) or Sergey (UMD? Classic Google question.

I'm all for Sergey here in the DMV but majors can change and UM is the better overall school.

Id go with Michigan if you can do it without debt. So much to offer there as pluses over UMD. Huge network and more brand name. Plus it’s more ‘polished’ in sports . Plus some other amazing departments if CS doesn’t pan out

FWIW US News has Michigan CS tied at #11 with four other schools. U Maryland CS is tied at #17.

For CS, Maryland is the better choice, but, if you need to get farther away from home, then Michigan.

If it’s not too much of a financial burden, I’d pick Michigan. Better alumni connections and more of a well rounded college experience.

Michigan is so much more of an experience than a simple major-alumni network not to be beat and A2 so much nicer than College Park! No Brainer IMO.- Signed-Ann Arbor alum

With Ivy day disappointing decisions, DC is left with two main choices UMD and U Michigan (both oos). UVA in-state result is waitlisted.

Any thoughts on these two schools for Computer Science major. It seems tuition difference is 38k vs 55k.

Based on what I gathered, both have solid CS programs and outcomes post-graduation are not much different. Even if it isn't a major issue finances, does the cost differential makes sense to choose Michigan?
