I think GMU is a really good school for those areas, as well as a bargain for in-state. The only problem with GMU is that kids in northern, VA do not want to go there b/c it is too close and b/c they have a high acceptance rate (so they do not consider it selective enough). So the school kind of has a stigma (fair/unfair) amongst high schools students in NOVA. However, the things that matter, like the program, cost and career placement rates, are excellent.

What are you smoking? Or you just hate UMD?

It's much easier to get internship during the year when you can easily drive to Tysons/Reston/Dulles than it is in Charlottesville or Blacksburg

+1. Great options for either work or grad school after finishing one’s BSCompE.
