<p>I got accepted into Rutgers and denied from UMD but I could go to Towson for a year and transfer. But UMD is closer to home and has an architecture program incase I wanted to switch majors. I like the fact that Rutgers is close to NYC but it's kinda far from home and I don't know how I'll adjust. And I don't like the fact that UMD tries to kick you out of the dorms junior year. But which school is better in terms of their biomedical engineering program?</p>
<p>How much more would you spend out of pocket for Rutgers vs. your Towson/UMD option?<br>
I’m not familiar with either school’s BME program, but for any engineering, you should go with the cheaper option…especially if one is significantly cheaper. </p>
<p>Also, it seems like you’re on the fence about engineering anyways…Towson would allow you to test the waters before transferring.</p>
<p>I’d be paying about 10,000-15,000 more a year if I went to Rutgers. Which is another reason why I’m leaning more toward transferring from towson to UMD. And you’re right about me being on the fence about what I want to do. For the past few months I’ve been into architecture but before this school year I always had a passion for Biology. But now that I’ve gotten denied from UMD I’m trying to work myself into liking Biomed. I’m so confused, I don’t what I want anymore! Which is another reason why it’d be good for me to go to UMD. But I hate how UMD kicks you out of dorms junior year, and I’m not to fond of the idea of going to Towson, and it’s probably good that I get away from the same people from high school and meet some new people (in jersey perhaps?). But then again Jersey’s kinda far and I don’t know how I’d cope because I’m a big baby. Dude, I’m so lost right now…</p>
<p>Relax…don’t worry. Why can’t you take some Bio classes at Towson (or Rutgers) and then transfer to UMD? You don’t need to have your college career all figured out right now.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry about going to Towson…its likely a lot bigger than your high school. </p>
<p>Check to see if UMD has a transfer dorm.</p>
