<p>St. Mary’s College of MD (Maryland’s public honors college) is a good suggestion, if you can get past the small size. Its total COA is a few thousand dollars more than UMCP’s for Maryland residents. The campus is beautiful (right on the water with a new boathouse and a fleet of sailboats for student use, if that has any appeal.) It looks a lot like a traditional New England LAC. Only 1% of classes have 50 or more students (compared to 17% at UMCP).</p>
