<p>My S is deciding between Maryland and UD with a major in Business/Accounting. Any comments he should consider about one program or the other?</p>
<p>UMD, college park, i assume? it's better academically and very well known for its business program. congrats!</p>
<p>definitely college park (and not just because im from md!!)
its a much more respected school, especiallyy with regard to business</p>
<p>Only way I would say Delaware over MD is if the school is too big for him.</p>
<p>Many kids don't like that about UMD, they want a smaller feel.</p>
<p>Our DS was the exact opposite since he will be graduating frm a class of 300, he wants to be a number! He also loves all of the variety that the campuss has to offer.</p>
<p>If the size is not an issue, without a doubt UMD, their program is much better. Remember UMD was voted one of the best colleges in the nation.</p>
<p>Some concern about the area around the College Park campus & crime. Program at Smith School definitely nationally recognized which is a big plus. On the UD side, Newark is a great college town and much less crime than College Park. Also, the Business School at UD is up and coming. The new President of UD is the former Dean at Wharton.</p>
<p>Bullet went to UMD, our DS will be going. We go there often and I have never felt worried about safety. The crime is off campus.</p>
<p>I think in the end you should look at both of their programs and base your decision on the program itself.</p>
