St. Mary’s is a small school known for its humanities majors, and it is a great school, but it is not the honors college of Maryland. UMBC has that title. UMBC is frequently seen by students as a second choice after College Park, but grad schools and employers know how good their undergrad teaching is. Also, they have the best merit aid of any of the Maryland universities. As long as you are looking for academics and not sports / parties, it’s a great choice. As inparent said, you obviously need to look at College Park as well. Its reputation is SO much better than when I worked at UMUC in the 80s.
