Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Rochester

<p>Which would you choose?</p>

<p>Daughter likes linguistics, Chem and Spanish (Am Sign Language also).
U Rochester' merit/aid package is far too low for us (being appealed, and although the FA dept seems very approachable and nice, I am not optimistic).</p>

<p>Syracuse offered $15,000, and small loan; and U Maryland Coll Park Honors program offer results in somewhat lower tuition & costs than Syracuse.</p>

<p>Result is either school is more than $10,000 less per year than Rochester.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Rochester is strong in chem, but linguistics and Spanish are not one of its strong points. Look toward College Park for the best value.</p>

<p>UMDCP has a good Linguistics program, one of the best. I was actually given a tour of their facility once and had a nice one on one talk with the folks who teach it. Small classes, very personal approach... though the profs seem a tad eccentric, the program is good. Some sweet machinery for running tests.</p>

<p>Then again I'm a MD kid :P</p>
