my daughter was accepted through Freshman Connection. Anyone have any experience or insights on what the benefits and downside of this would be? Thank you.
meant to add she was accepted to UMD through Freshman Connection
Check out the Univ of Maryland section. There Is a thread for FC.
On the main page where all of the forums are listed, scroll down to find
“Colleges and Universities”
then click on
“Alphabetic list of colleges”
then scroll down to the letter M, and click on
“University of Maryland - College Park”
There are several threads on FC. Here are the first two I found:

Can anyone provide information as to any kind of tuition discount, or some kind of discount for students doing FC fall semester? It was mentioned on the UMD FB parents page and I am unaware of any additional information. Thanks.
@UMDTerpMom - It might be best to call the FC Office to get official info on FC tuition 301-405-7762
I totally forgot that FC was about 4K cheaper(OOS) the first semester. My husband and I kept asking our daughter if there was any way she could do FC in the spring too :))
Curious if that is the same for in state tuition as well. I will call tomorrow.
The FC office is very helpful.
