Lehigh vs. Honors College at University of Maryland - College Park

<p>26,000 undergraduates (Maryland) versus 4,800 undergraduates</p>

<p>an 18:1 student/teacher ratio versus a 9:1 ratio</p>

<p>USNWR ranking of 53 for Maryland versus 35 ranking</p>

<p>SAT scores are about the same, as are freshman retention and graduation rates</p>

<p>Maryland has about 94 Math majors per class, Lehigh has about 15 </p>

<p>so you really have to decide whether you want to go to a college that has double the student/teacher ratio, 5x the number of overall students and 6x the number of Math Majors.</p>

<p>It is healthier to go to a college that is further than one hour away, however…</p>
