University of Maryland or Miami University?

<p>I am deciding between these two schools to attend in the fall.</p>

<p>Maryland (College Park)- 1.5 hour flight from home, business school, school spirit, career opportunities, Greek life, near DC.
Miami (Oxford)- 5.5 hour drive from home, business school, merit scholarship for around $5000 per year, small school feel, internships.</p>

<p>Basically what I am asking is for current studens, parents, or experts to help me navigate this decision. If anyone knows of other factors I should consider, I would like to know of those as well. If you want to know anything else about me- just ask!</p>

<p>Can you afford both?</p>

<p>We could make both work, but Miami would be slightly cheaper. Although, if business school costs extra at any point, that would become a factor.</p>
