<p>What major do I want?
How big a school do I want to attend?
Do I care if it is rural or in a city?
HOW MUCH CAN I OR MY PARENTS AFFORD?
Do I care how far away from home I am?
What do I really like to do? Is it available there?
And how much does status matter?</p>
<p>Go visit UMD, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, George Washington University and Georgetown. That will give you a feel for 1) big state U 2) small rural LAC 3) urban uni integrated into city and 4) urban univ w/ campus. Once you know what kind of experience you want, we can offer suggestions.</p>
