My son was also accepted into Penn State UP and UMD, for engineering. We visited both colleges and academically both schools seemed top notch. Our deciding factor was the location and how much he loved the Penn State atmosphere and campus. I guess it all depends on the person. Both are out of state for us, also. In state, he was accepted to both RIT and Clarkson, but ultimately, Penn State has always been his #1 choice. He could be 45 minutes from home at RIT and get a great engineering degree for a little cheaper but we want him to go where he will also be the happiest and where he feels is the best fit for him. Go with what you feel is best for you.
