<p>drw4taww, We are Virginia instate as well and stuck with UVa and VT full pay for engineering for our kids but these merit offers from places like Alabama sure are tempting. Good luck with the decision.</p>
<p>Perhaps consider Community College as it would give you 2 years to really determine where you will want to be.</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>I have like 3 freinds who go to Maryland and they say its absolutely awesome there. Always something to do and there is D.1 sports! Good facilities and solid engineering</p>

<p>What else are you hoping to hear? The topic has been beaten up pretty hard. If you give zero feedback, no one knows how to help refine to meet your needs. </p>
