If you want small costal schools, you could try…Barnard, William and Mary, Whitman, Bates, Colby, Occidental, Eckerd, etc. as matches and reaches. Then Santa Clara, Bard, Hobart and William Smith, Wagner, Emmanuel, Skidmore, etc. as safeties (where you’d be more likely to get scholarships).

In case unexpected problems arise, you should have a in-state option on your list. But if UMD is too big, why not try Saint Mary’s?

In the end though, it comes down to what you want. Personally, I don’t think it’s a big deal to take out a few student loans if going OOS will make you happier. Pretty much everyone takes out loans at some point - interest rates are low and you get plenty of time to pay them back.
