UMD Baltimore vs. Shady Grove?

Published

I am guaranteed admission to UMD as long as I keep above a 3.25 overall and about a 3.0 in my sciences (admission pathway program with UMD college park and Baltimore).

The only issue is I don't know which campus to choose for next spring? Both campuses are about 30 minutes from my home.

Advice?

Shady Grove. Free parking. Smaller class sizes, thus more individualized attention. Free parking. Great professors. Did I mention free parking? If you're going to be a commuter and the distance to either campus is the same, I'd choose Shady Grove in a heartbeat :)

I'm with MusicToMedicine, you can't really beat free parking. Haha! Also, the campus is beautiful, and it has an overall suburban-like feeling to it. Hoping to get in next Spring as well!

You should visit both campuses. Shady Grove is open to the public so you can drop by any time you like although there will be an Open House on July 19 with campus and nursing lab tours plus current students to chat with. Also, there is a scholarship fund for Shady Grove students.
