Why not?
Because UMD > Vtech in every ranking, if that's important to you.
But, if your kid wants a different setting, and you can afford it and don't care about rankings, then go for it.
By the by, UMD beats Vtech in football pretty much every year.
Is UMD football still poorly attended? At least VT fans care.

UMd is actually much higher ranked for some things. Computer science for example.
My FCPS CS major didn't apply to VT. Attending UMD with a little merit.

Years ago i did. Really liked the mountain setting and also felt a lot safer. Back then dorms were unlocked during the day at VT, whereas UMD dorm halls were always locked. Now they are both the same, but is still a lot safer. Major was engineering so they were basically equivalent for that.

It would be related to major, surely?

For those that turned down UMD in-state for VT, why did you choose VT?
