<p>^ i agree with ellomeno…how did you find out so soon when other’s are still waiting?</p>
<p>anyway’s my dad lives in MD, not near college park, but in MD. It is accessible to the metro so you have as many opportunities as a GW student would. </p>
<p>Yes, GW is right in DC, but so is UMD. It may not be in the city but as long as it’s on the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (aka METRO), you have the same political advatages as they do. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. </p>
<p>UMD is on the “Top 25 Most recruited list” whereas GW is not. GW has an easier access to things in DC though, whereas UMD might take awhile. </p>
<p>GW = safe area, UMD = not so much. But the campus is nice. </p>
<p>But most importantly:
GW is also expensive so if youre transferring, and you might have to stay longer if possibly not all credits transfer over, thus you stay longer than expected, your tuition goes up. Yes, it is a fixed-rate school, but, according to a personal e-mail from admissions, your tuition will rise if your there longer. I know or a fact that I will not graduate on time so that is why I am ruling GW out.</p>
