With roughly a week left to make a final decision, I am still stuck between UMD and Loyola. Both schools are within close proximity of my house and within the same tuition cost range (Loyola is about $33k thanks to scholarships and UMD is about $28K). I found myself really fond of Loyola’s psychology department (my prospective major), but I wouldn’t be in the honors college like I would be at UMD. Academically speaking, I’d stand out more at Loyola than at UMD, but UMD is seen as more prestigious. I believe both of the college’s locations would be advantageous, for Loyola’s nearby Johns Hopkins and Kennedy Krieger and UMD’s nearby DC. And, I know dorms shouldn’t be a main factor in college decisions, but I do like Loyola’s dorms a lot more than UMD’s. I’ve heard experiences of students from both schools, but I still find myself on a seesaw between the schools. I was hoping that I could get some more outside opinions to help me a little. Thanks
