Help me make my decision

I’d check with U MD on the procedure to get into their school of business before making a decision. If it isn’t too painful, the location and on-campus transportation of U MD can’t be beat if you might take advantage of an internship or volunteering in D.C. During our tour there, they stressed that you can get to D.C. during the school year by just hopping the rail system on-campus for a short ride. If it sounds as if you might not get your major of choice at U MD, I’d jump at the great business school at PSU even if it meant summer school. Summer school would be a great chance to earn some good grades with a little less pressure, while getting familiar with the campus.

U MD has a very different feel than PSU, so you should visit schools. I liked the PSU campus much better, but my kid liked the sense of history on the MD campus. I don’t know much about FL, but its students don’t seem to be as happy there based on the college review websites.

Putting Florida to one side, would you really rather be a short, stubby turtle than a magnificant lion? And the ice cream is 100% better at PSU than the stuff they sell in the U MD visitor’s center! U Md may have a bowling alley in its student union, but how often would you go bowling? The guys & girls are much better looking at PSU than (anywhere!). And PSU has Joe Paterno! It would be interesting to know what kind of advice you’d get on the boards of the other schools?
