My kid was accepted into UMD, Wisconsin-Madison and UC San Diego for CS. We are in-state at UMD, but UC San Diego gave a small merit (7k per year).
My kid intends to go to graduate school later, also in CS. Which college would you recommend?
Better question - why NOT UMD?

Unless you want to waste money, why ask this question?
UMD, Wisconsin and UCSD’s undergraduate Computer Science programs are all ranked #16 by US News.
I agree with @dimkin and @tsbna44 that without further context it is hard to figure out why you are even asking this question.
Please tell us more.
They’re all big publics and on an equal (respected) tier for CS so unless you simply have extra money to burn for different geography/weather/social fit, there’s not much to consider.
