Hi, I have been accepted to both University of Maryland and Quinnipiac. I got a 24k a year scholarship (96k total) from Quinnipiac, and nothing from maryland. Tuition is not a major concern for my family, and they would be happy to send me wherever I want. So, what are your opinions on Quinnipiac vs UMD? For a fact UMD is higher ranking than Quinnipiac, by a lot. But maybe Quinnipiac is just “special” in other ways. Please share your opinions!
If you can get past the fact that CP has its fair share of crime, then UMD all the way.
If $96k really isn’t so important to your family, then I’d also say UMD.
You are comparing a big State U to a mid-size college so the schools do have different attributes. Do you have a preference?
UMD.
The schools are completely different
One is a big public university other is a small private one
i would personally choose UMD because im more into the big uni scene
But what is your preferance
If you are OOS for UMD, the cost differential to the family is not $96K over 4 years. Quinnipiac is approximately $57K per year, or $33K after the merit award. OOS costs for UMD are approximately $42K, which makes the cost differential approximately $9K per year or $36K over 4 years. If your family has the money, then have you visited the schools? If so, what were your impressions? What are you looking to study? The 2 schools are very different.
