UMD vs VTech - Materials Science Engineering /CIVICUS

Anyone been at either programs-- pros/cons, advice? Anything is helpful!

Would be in state tuition at UMD and out of state at VT so right now cost and location are the biggest differences, but what else is there?

At UMD got into civicus program if anyone knows about that either.

If it is engineering, then I’d definitely go with UMD. In-state is a big bonus.
