Well, I guess it's settled. I'm sure everyone will be rushing to UMD now.

Iโd probably go to UMD. Brin seems higher IQ than Page. UMD Sweeney (Fortnite) is the richest man in N. Carolina and alums launched Oculus, and Sirius Satellite. Alums invented the universal price code (bar code) and pulse Doppler radar. Better weather and an unlimited immediate job market from NASA, to Homeland Security, NSA and every government contractor.

It couldn't ever compete since College Park has a beach. The small, but mighty, state that has EVERYTHING.
Yep .. beach, mountains, better more important cities, more money, better weather, better higher education community..
Itโs not fair but it is what it is.

If you care what others think Michigan.
If you want to make the best decision UMD .
Corrected..
"If you care what others think, want a great college town, and don't want to run the risk of getting mugged, Michigan.
If you want to make the best decision, and don't mind a shitty environment, UMD."

In case people don't want to click the link:
Violent crime:
CP - 43
AA - 410 -- almost 10x CP
Property crime:
CP - 579
AA - 2070
Ann Arborโs population is about 4x that of CP. And Ann Arbor is a city in its own right, not just an area around a college campus. On a per capita basis, it would seem that property crime is about even.
But violent crime in AA is 10x that of CP. I'd rather my kid have his bike stolen than be beaten up, stabbed or shot.

Harvard would never pack a 100 k stadium for a team with less modern era football championships than UMD. They have more entertaining and important things to do. That would be a sign of an insignificant existence .

I'd take the mid Atlantic over the Midwest any day of the week.
It's not like U Michigan is Harvard or anything. For CS, UMDCP is fine.

Itโs just a more put-together area and a lot more interesting. The beach, mountains, north, south, bay, food, cultural attractions, pro sports, overall academic communityโฆ vastly superior plus a ton less violent crime.
Agree. The UMD people are running rings around the U Mich folks. Itโs eye opening.
Since when did College Park get a beach and mountains? ๐ค
Small state. Has everything.
And, Michigan has the Great Lakes. Nobody is choosing College Park because thereโs a beach hours away. But, if you truly need to grasp, so be it.

Since the state, weather and crime/homlessness, lack of wealth is so horrible Ann Arbor needs a hype video.
