<p>My kid was admitted into some universities. After some consideration, we kept UIUC and UMD, college park. He wants to study engineering for his undergrad.</p>

<p>He was admitted into a non engineering program at UIUC, but into an engineering program at UMD. To help us with decision, we need more information. Please help with the following questions:</p>

<ol>
<li>How hard is it to transfer into engineering at UIUC?</li>
<li>What is the course workload like at the two colleges?</li>
<li>How strong is engineering program at UMD? Is the program big?</li>
<li>He would be admitted into honor or scholar program if he applied earlier. Any chance for him to get into such progroam after he stays there for one year.</li>
</ol>

<p>Below are some threads that I think will answer most of your questions if you read through them…if you want to see other older threads, go down to the bottom of the page, under display options, and change from last month to last 100 days. Let me know if you have any other questions, and I’ll do my best to answer. UMD is AWESOME.</p>
