<p>norcalryan:
I’m not a business student, however, I think I can help (I visited Michigan, too). I didn’t really like Michigan, I’ll say that up front. Things to think about:</p>
<p>-There are probably more opportunities for internships and whatnot in College Park/DC than Ann Arbor/Detroit
-Weather
-Are you a football (Michigan) or a basketball (Maryland) kinda person?</p>
<p>I can’t come up with anymore but I hope that helps.</p>
<p>i have to say, michigan football sucks… ever since lloyd carr left, the team has declined. marylands football team is getting better every year and their basketball is great</p>

Engineering program is excellent otherwise.</p>
