<p>I can't decide which one I like better.. sadly I'm not like completely in love/has-been-my-dream-school-for-a-long-time /whatever with either of them but they'll have to do :]</p>
<p>suny buffalo (UB) vs u of maryland college park (UM)</p>
<p>cost - UB is a little cheaper beacuse of scholarships (like 3ish thousand)
weather - UM wins lol.. not that important to me but would be nice
program/major - I like UB's program more but I know UM is a better school
location - toss up... buffalo niagara region seems better but seems like it would get old soon?(4 years might be a good amount of time?).. right around UM sucks but I love DC (and it seems cooler than buffalo).. friends will be closer to UM (pretty important to me) but a small part of me wants to get out of the region more (UB wins for that I guess even though UM is still 2 hours away)
student body - worried because of all of the in state people at UB.. but overall they seem more akin to my likings than UM (kind of confusing I know but they just dont seem as into sports/greek scene as UM)... I just havent met anyone that I feel I would be realy good friends with at UM (but that might change when I go visit again this week)
dorms - UB wins and I think room is a little cheaper than at UM
social life - like that at UB I could always go to canada to do stuff because I'm not really into frat parties but like clubs and bars more.. at UM though it seems more lively and fun
other programs - honors program at UB.... scholars program at UM (living learning communities)
random - going to grad school most likely but if it matters I see myself working in new york or maybe montreal eventually (would UB be better?)
-buffalo and DC are both pretty dangerous but buffalo is probably safer (I've heard its getting worse even though its rapidly losing its population.. kind of worried about this as for getting interships and stuff)</p>
<p>ok any input would be helpful!!</p>
