<p>From what I’ve heard, there’s about 30-40% who stay on campus, though according to the admissions spiel, that’s been changing as of late and shifting towards a more residential based school. To answer another question, UMCP is more prestigious than UMBC, but, it must be said that UMBC is nevertheless a very, very good school. If you’re looking for something smaller than College Park but not so small like an LAC, it’s a pretty good bet.</p>
