UVA and VT blow UMD out of the water. Quality of education is superior as is the environment, weird events notwithstanding. Important to note the the two people involved in the Lacrosse incident were from MD and went to Virginia!
Maryland is a good school but it is really lame to try to make the school look good by focusing on some horrific events at the superior schools of a neighboring state.
Also, don't forget that Virginia also has W & M, Mason, Madison, ODU, VCU, Christopher Newport, Radford--all state schools. Maryland has College Park and Baltimore County and then.... Frostburg, Eastern Shore, Bowie State--ouch. Can't count Hopkins because it is private and the kids who go there are quick to let you know.

College Park only looks good if your other options are Rutgers, Hofstra and SUNY-Nowhere.

The Maryland Agricultural College? Seriously? The World Academic Rankings do not use neighborhood crime as a criterion to determine academic reputation. Similarly they do not use athletic programs. If they did, UMD would be in trouble with the school's rumored demotion to Div II after the epic collapse of the entire sports program.

Hi UMd poster. Haven't seen you in a while. Now just making up your own threads I see. Too bad there's still no way you can convince Virginians to consider UMd for anything.

Hopkins is great for pre-meds and that's about it. It's near a terrible part of Baltimore that makes Richmond look like Potomac.
And looking like Potomac is a good thing? Hahahhhahahahahahah

Maybe they are too busy trying not to have their head cut off in the dining hall.

Charlottesville has 6x the violent crime of college park. Sorry rape murder and armed robbery of Charlottesville is one of the reasons Umd is ranked well above UVA in the most recent world university rankings. Well that and the fact it has more Nobel and Pulitzer graduates. Another factor was the majors are more difficult math and science related than UVA . The fact that Umd grads have changed the world and culture with google, underarmour, creating Seinfeld and the wire, the muppets and Doppler radar, the universal price code. Linear programming. Retractable landing gear, coronary stents, the jumbotron, artificial pancreas, the octane system, the hybrid engine , automatic parachutes, launched Sirius satellite etc so forth and so on.
While UVA grads did a real estate title search. And not much else.

Umd is 40% out of state. More than UVA or vt. If you think mass shootings ...cord destruction...beheadings ...mass violent robbery .. and suicide epidemics are great you sound like a penn stater.

UVA .... A lacrosse player bludgeons his girlfriend to death. A coed is abducted from the John Paul jones arena torn apart and thrown in a field.
William and Mary.... A suicide epidemic taking place over the last 3 years.
Vcu. .... A mass attack robbery yesterday.
Very strange and dangerous places.
+1. I spotted this right away. The UMD booster. He/she is funny sometimes but really there's no comparison between the two states' higher education institutions. College Park is dangerous and a ghetto. Wouldn't send my kid there if they paid me.
Meh. The Virginia schools are the envy of the region and you know it. College Park is an ugly excuse for a campus, and the less said about UDC the better.
