<p>I have been accepted at both and i am 99% sure that I am going to go to one of them...I am just not sure which one. What to people think? I know that this isn't how i should make my choice but I want to know some of the highlights of each of the schools that i may not be aware of</p>
<p>lostandsleepy-
Have you visited each? If not, I would encourage you to do so. Also, explore each school's website. The websites are a fountain of information.</p>
<p>IMO- they're pretty close in quality. Depends on your major, costs, preferences (city vs small town). I agree that visits would help you make your decision.</p>
<p>lol i have seen both (i do need to check out penn state agian because its been awhile) i was hoping people would post things they really like about one of the school that maybe i hadn't thought of</p>
<p>They are both great schools. What state are you in? In my opinion, if you are a resident of PA then I would chose Penn State. Its ranked higher then Maryland. My d is at Penn State but has numerous friends that go to Maryland and love it. Another thing to consider is that Maryland is closer to Washington DC and you would have more internship opportunities. But I am biased towards Penn State. The area around University of Maryland is kind of sketchy, that is what bothered me when we toured both schools two years ago.</p>
