I know these are two very different types of schools given the size and state school vs private, but does anyone have advice on pros and cons of the two schools? Looking into majoring in Computer Science. Both schools offered merit scholarships. The acceptance to UMD was to one of their learning/living programs in the Honors college.
Thanks!
Go with UMD (but College Park is kind of sketchy) Its a prestigious college and has amazing opportunities. I went to the admitted students day (my older sibling got in). I plan to apply to the college this fall. There are so many great things you can do at that college. Also, the campus is so big and the sports there also seem very interesting to go watch or play. The dorms are small and a little tight, but im sure the honors college has better residential areas. Although, I dont know very much about Brandeis but i heard it was also prestigious, but it doesnt have a high rating like UMD. But, you should be able to know where you will be able to enjoy college, have a good time, and get a good education…
UMD hands down, especially if you were accepted into the honors program.
UMD especially for Honors and Computer Science. I actually think with College Park you might be slightly more protected since you’d be ON campus. At least you’re not smack in the middle of Baltimore…
